4 Having begun and the Peter set forth to them in order, saying:
5 I was in city of Joppa praying; and I saw in a trance a vision, coming down a vessel certain like a sheet great, four ends being lowered out of the heaven, and came as far as me;
6 into which having looked I observed and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth and wild beasts and the reptiles and the birds of the heaven.
7 I heard and a voice saying to me: Having arisen, O Peter, sacrifice and eat.
8 I said but: But no means, O Lord; because common or unclean never entered into the mouth of me.
9 Answered but to me a voice a second time out of the heaven: What the God cleansed, thou not pollute.
10 This and was done for three times; and again was drawn up all into the heaven.
11 And lo, immediately three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 Said and to me the spirit, to go with them, nothing doubting; went and with me also the six brethren these, and we entered into the house of the man.
13 He related and to us, how he saw the messenger in the house of himself standing and saying to him: Send into Joppa, and send after Simon that having been surnamed Peter;
14 who will speak words to thee, by which mayest be saved thou and all the house of thee.
15 In and the to have begun me to speak, fell the spirit the holy on them, as also on us in beginning.
16 I remembered and the words of the Lord, how he said: John indeed dipped in water, you but shall be dipped in spirit holy.
17 If then the like gift gave to them the God as even to us, having believed on the Lord Jesus Anointed, I and who was, having power to restrain the God?
18 Having heard and these, they were silent, and glorified the God, saying: Then also to the Gentiles the God the reformation gave into life.
