Acts 10:9-24 - Peter Has A Vision
9 The next day they journeyed to the city. As they drew near, Peter went to the housetop to pray. It was about the sixth hour. 10 He became very hungry. While the meal was being prepared he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened, something like a great sheet lowered by the four corners was descending to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles and birds. 13 Peter heard a voice say: Kill and eat.
14 But Peter said: No Lord for I have never eaten any thing that is defiled or unclean.
15 The voice spoke to him again the second time: You stop calling defiled that which God has cleansed. 16 This happened a third time and immediately the sheet was taken up to heaven.
17 While Peter doubted in himself what this vision ment, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius inquired for Simon's house, and stood at the gate. 18 They called out and asked if Simon surnamed Peter lived there.
19 While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold, three men seek you. 20 Stand up and go down to greet them. Do not doubt for I have sent them.
21 Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius. He said: I am the one you are looking for. Why did you come?
22 They said: We come from Cornelius the centurion, a righteous man who respects God. He has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews. A holy angel told him to have you come to his house so he could hear what you have to say. 23 He invited them in to be his guests. The next day Peter went away with them. Brothers accompanied them from Joppa. 24 The day after that they entered Caesarea. Cornelius expected them so he called his relatives and close friends to join him.
