10 And he became very hungry, and desired to eat; but while they were making ready, he fell into a trance;
11 and he saw heaven opened, and some vessel, like a great sheet, descending, bound by the four corners, and let down to the earth.
12 In this were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him: Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
14 But Peter said: By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing common or unclean.
15 And the voice came to him again a second time: What God has cleansed, you must not call common.
16 This was done the third time; and the vessel was taken up again into heaven.
17 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.
18 And they called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 While Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold, three men ask for you:
20 arise then, and go down, and go with them without hesitation, for I have sent them.
21 And Peter came down to the men, and said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause of your coming?
22 They replied: Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that fears God, and of good report among the whole nation of the Jews, was instructed by a holy angel to call you to his house, and to hear words from you.
23 Then he called them in, and lodged them. On the morrow he arose, and went with them; and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 And on the next day, they entered Caesarea And Cornelius was expecting them, and had called together his relatives and near friends.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did him homage.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying: Stand up; I also am a man.
27 And; conversing with him, he went in, and found many that had come together.
28 And he said to them: You know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with one of another nation, or to go into his house. But God has showed me that I must not call any man common or unclean.
29 For this reason, when I was sent for, I came without making objection. I ask, therefore, for what purpose have you sent for me?
30 And Cornelius replied: Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and, at the ninth hour, I was praying in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 and said: Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your deeds of charity are remembered before God.
32 Send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea; who, when he comes, will speak to you.
33 Therefore, I immediately sent to you; and you have done well in coming. Now, there fore, we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to you by God.
