Therefore do this which we say to thee: Four men are to us having a vow upon them; Having taken these, be purified with them, and expend upon them, that they might shave the head: and all might know that what they are taught about thee is nothing; but thou proceedest in regular order, also thyself watching the law.

And Peter having begun, set forth to them in order, saying, I was in the city Joppa, praying: and in a deep trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descending as a great linen napkin, let down from heaven by four beginnings; and it came even to me: Upon which having looked intently, I observed, and saw quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the flying things of heaven. And I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, kill and eat. And I said, By no means, Lord: for anything common or unclean never came into my month. And a voice answered me of a second time from heaven, What God cleansed, profane not. And this was for thrice: and again all was drawn up into heaven. And, behold, from this three men stood at the house in which I was, sent from Cesarea to me. And the spirit said to me to come with them, discussing nothing. And these six brethren came also with me, and we came to the man's house: And he announced to us how he saw a messenger in his house, having stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and send for Simon, surnamed Peter Who shall speak words to thee, by which thou shalt be saved and all thy house. And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as also upon us in the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, when he said, John truly immersed with water; but ye shall be immersed with the Holy Spirit. If therefore God gave the like gift to them as also to us, having believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; how was I able to hinder God And having heard these, they were silent, and honoured God, saying, For also God gave the nations repentance to life.
