And on the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and were drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house top to pray, about the sixth hour.

In this were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air. And there came a voice to him: Rise, Peter, kill and eat. But Peter said: By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing common or unclean. And the voice came to him again a second time: What God has cleansed, you must not call common. This was done the third time; and the vessel was taken up again into heaven. Now, while Peter was perplexed within himself about the meaning of the vision which he had seen, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood before the gate. And they called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.

But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
