Acts 10:9-24 - Peter Has A Vision
9 On the next day, while these men were on their way, just as they were nearing the town, Peter went up on the housetop about mid-day to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat; but while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw that the heavens were open, and that something like a great sail was descending, let down by its four corners towards the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and birds. 13 Then he was aware of a voice which said-- "Stand up, Peter, kill something, and eat."
14 "No, Lord, I cannot," answered Peter, "for I have never eaten anything 'defiled' and 'unclean'."
15 Again he was aware of a voice which said-- "What God has pronounced 'clean', do not regard as 'defiled'." 16 This happened three times, and then suddenly it was all taken up into the heavens.
17 While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon's house, came up to the gate, 18 And called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.
19 Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him: "There are two men looking for you at this moment. 20 Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them."
21 Peter went down to the men and said: "I am the man for whom you are looking. What is your reason for coming?"
22 The men replied: "Our captain, Cornelius, a pious man who reverences God and is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, has been instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to listen to what you have to say." 23 Upon this Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he lost no time in setting out with them, accompanied by some of the Brethren from Jaffa; 24 And the day following he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them, and had invited his relations and intimate friends to meet them.
