10 And he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and, while they were making ready, there came upon him a trance;
11 and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth;
12 in which were all the four-footed beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the heaven.
13 And there came a voice to him, "Arising, Peter, kill and eat."
14 But Peter said, "By no means, Lord! because never at any time did I eat anything common or unclean."
15 And a voice came to him again, a second time, "What God cleansed, count not common."
16 Now this happened three times, and straightway the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 Now, as Peter was much perplexed in himself as to what the vision which he saw might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood at the gate;
18 and, calling, were inquiring whether Simon who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.
19 And, while Peter was earnestly considering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are seeking you.
20 But, arising, go down, and journey with them, nothing doubting; because I have sent them."
21 And Peter, going down to the men, said, "Behold, I am he whom ye are seeking; what is the cause for which ye are present?"
22 And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and one fearing God, well reported of also by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to hear words from you."
23 Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them. And, on the morrow, arising, he went with them; and some of the brethren from Joppa went with him.
24 And on the following day they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius, meeting him, and falling at his feet, worshipped him.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up! I myself also am a man."
27 And, while talking with him, he entered, and finds many who had come together;
28 and he says to them, "Ye know that it is unlawful for a Jew to join himself with, or come to, one of another race; and yet God showed me that I should call no man common or unclean.
29 Wherefore, also, having been sent for, I came without gainsaying. I ask, therefore, with what intent ye sent for me."
30 And Cornelius said, "Four days ago, until this hour, I was praying during the ninth hour in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,
31 and says, 'Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your alms were remembered before God.
32 Send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; the same is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.'
33 At once, therefore, I sent to you; and you did well, in coming. Now, therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things that have been commanded you by the Lord."
