He is staying with a tanner named Simon whose house is by the sea. When the angel who spoke to Cornelius left, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier who was his attendant. He told them what happened and sent them to Joppa. The next day they journeyed to the city. As they drew near, Peter went to the housetop to pray. It was about the sixth hour. He became very hungry. While the meal was being prepared he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened, something like a great sheet lowered by the four corners was descending to the earth. In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles and birds. Peter heard a voice say: Kill and eat. But Peter said: No Lord for I have never eaten any thing that is defiled or unclean. The voice spoke to him again the second time: You stop calling defiled that which God has cleansed. This happened a third time and immediately the sheet was taken up to heaven. While Peter doubted in himself what this vision ment, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius inquired for Simon's house, and stood at the gate. They called out and asked if Simon surnamed Peter lived there. While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold, three men seek you. Stand up and go down to greet them. Do not doubt for I have sent them. Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius. He said: I am the one you are looking for. Why did you come? They said: We come from Cornelius the centurion, a righteous man who respects God. He has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews. A holy angel told him to have you come to his house so he could hear what you have to say. He invited them in to be his guests. The next day Peter went away with them. Brothers accompanied them from Joppa. The day after that they entered Caesarea. Cornelius expected them so he called his relatives and close friends to join him. Cornelius met Peter and fell down at his feet with adoration for him. Stand up, Peter said, as he lifted him up, I am also a man. He talked with him and went in to find many people gathered. He said to them: You know that it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to keep company, or approach someone of another nation. But God revealed to me that I should not call any man defiled or unclean. Therefore I came to you without objection, as soon as I was sent for. I ask therefore for what intent you sent for me? Cornelius replied, Four days ago I was praying at this hour. It was the ninth hour and I prayed in my house. A man dressed in bright clothing stood before me. He said, 'Cornelius, your prayer is heard and your gifts of mercy are noticed in the sight of God. Send to Joppa, and call Simon, whose surname is Peter. He lives in the house of the tanner named Simon by the sea. When he comes he will speak with you.' Immediately I sent for you. You have done well for you have come. We are all present before God, to hear all things that are commanded to you from God.

He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up saying: Get up quickly. And his chains fell off of his hands.
