10:3 One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

10:4 Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.

10:5 Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.

10:6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

10:7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.

10:8 He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.

10:9 The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

10:10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

10:11 He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

10:12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.

10:13 Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”

10:14 “No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

10:15 The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

10:16 This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

10:17 While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.

10:18 They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.

10:19 As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

10:20 So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”

10:21 So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”

10:22 “Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”

10:23 So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
