8 and having related to them all things, he sent them into the Joppa.
9 On the and morrow, pursuing the journey of them, and to the city drawing near, went up Peter to the roof to pray, about hour sixth.
10 He became and very hungry, and wished to eat; making ready and of them, fell on him a trance,
11 and he beholds the heaven having been opened, and coming down a vessel certain like a sheet great, four ends having bound, and being lowered down to the earth;
12 In which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth and the wild beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the heaven;
13 and came a voice to him: Having arisen, O Peter, sacrifice and eat.
14 The but Peter said: By no means, O Lord; because never I ate any thing common or unclean.
15 And a voice again a second time to him: What the God has cleansed, thou not pollute.
16 This and was done for three times; and again was taken up the vessel into the heaven.
17 As and in himself was pondering the Peter, what might be the vision which he saw, even lo, the men those being sent from the Cornelius, having inquired for the house of Simon, stood at the gate;
18 and having called aloud they asked, if Simon he being called Peter here lodges.
19 The and Peter reflecting concerning the vision, said to him the spirit: Lo, men three are seeking thee;
20 but having arisen do thou go down, and go with them, nothing doubting because I have sent them.
21 Having gone down but Peter to the men, said: Lo, I am, whom you seek; what the cause, on account of which you are present?
22 They and said: Cornelius a centurion, a man just and fearing the God, being testified of and by whole of the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a messenger holy, to send after thee to the house of himself, and to hear words from thee.
23 Having called in then them he lodged. On the and morrow having arisen he went out with them, and some of the brethren, those from Joppa, went with him.
24 And on the morrow they entered into the Caesarea. The and Cornelius was expecting them, having assembled the relatives of himself and the intimate friends.
25 When and came the to enter the Peter, having met him the Cornelius, having fallen to the feet, he worshipped.
26 The but Peter him raised up, saying: Do thou arise; also I myself a man am.
27 And talking with him, he went in, and finds having been assembled many.
28 He said and to them: You know, how unlawful it is for a man a Jew, to unite or come near to a foreigner; and to me the God has shown, not common or unclean to say a man.
29 Therefore also without hesitation I came having been sent after. I ask therefore, for what reason you sent after me?
30 And the Cornelius said: From four days till this the hour, I was fasting, and the ninth hour praying in the house of me; and lo, a man, stood before me in clothing shining,
31 and he said: O Cornelius, heard of thee the prayer, and the alms of thee are remembered before the God.
32 Send therefore into Joppa, and call for Simon who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in a house of Simon a tanner by sea.; who having come will speak to thee.
