Acts 10:9-24 - Peter Has A Vision
9 The next day, while those men were traveling on and not far from the town, Peter went up on the housetop about noon to pray. 10 But he got very hungry and wanted something to eat. While they were getting it ready, he fell into a trance 11 and saw the sky opened, and something like a great sheet coming down, lowered to the earth by the four corners, 12 which contained all kinds of four-footed animals, reptiles, and wild birds. 13 A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill something and eat it."
14 But Peter said, "Never by any means, sir, for I have never eaten anything common, or not ceremonially cleansed."
15 A second time the voice came to him, "The things that God has cleansed you must not call unclean." 16 This took place three times; then all at once the thing was taken up into the sky.
17 Now while Peter was still at a loss to know what the vision he had seen could mean, the men who had been sent by Cornelius had asked for the way to Simon's house and had stopped at the gate; 18 and they called and inquired if Simon who was called Peter was staying there.
19 While Peter was meditating on the vision, the Spirit said to him, "There are two men looking for you. 20 Get up and go down, and without hesitation go on with them, for I have sent them."
21 So Peter went down and said to the men, "I am the man you are looking for. What is the purpose of your coming?"
22 They answered, "Cornelius, a colonel in the army, an upright man and one who reveres God, and a man of high reputation with the whole Jewish nation, was instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to listen to a message you would bring." 23 So Peter invited them in and entertained them. 24 The next day he started off with them, and some of the brothers in Joppa went along with him. The day after that they reached Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for him, as he had invited in his kinsmen and close friends.
