But Peter began and laid the matter in order before them, saying, I was praying in the city of Joppa; and in a trance I saw a vision, some thing like a large sheet descending from heaven, let down by the four corners; and it came close to me. And looking stedfastly upon it, I observed four-footed creatures and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air. And I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter, kill and eat. But I said, By no means, Lord: for nothing polluted or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth. And the voice answered me a second time from heaven, What God hath cleansed do not thou call polluted. And this was done thrice: and then they were all drawn up again to heaven. And behold at that very time there came three men to the house where I was, sent from Cesarea to me. And the Spirit ordered me to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren also came with me, and we entred into the man's house; and he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and fetch hither Simon, whose sirname is Peter, who will tell thee things, by which thou shalt be saved and all thy family. And when I began to speak, the holy Spirit fell on them, even as it did upon us at the beginning. Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the holy Spirit. As therefore God gave to them the like gift that He did to us, upon our believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I should be able to withstand God? And when they heard these things they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God given to the Gentiles also repentance unto life.
