He said to him, "A man once gave a great dinner, and invited a large number to it,

and when the dinner hour came, he sent around his slave, to say to those who were invited, 'Come! for it is now ready!'

For I tell you that none of those men who were invited shall have any of my dinner!' "

So it came about that Peter stayed for some time in Joppa, at the house of a tanner named Simon.

He is being entertained at the house of a tanner named Simon, which is close to the sea."

So send to Joppa and invite Simon who is called Peter to come here. He is staying at the house of a tanner named Simon, close to the sea.'
