Now, on the morrow, as those men were journeying, and, unto the city, drawing near, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour; But he became hungry, and wished to eat, - and, while they were making ready, there came upon him a trance; And he beholdeth heaven opened, and, corning down, a kind of vessel, like a large linen cloth, by its four corners, being let down upon the earth, read more.
In which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of earth and birds of heaven. And there came a voice unto him - Rise, Peter! slay and eat.

And, as within himself Peter was doubting what the vision which he had seen might mean, lo! the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate, And, calling, enquired whether, Simon who was surnamed Peter, was there being entertained.
