Acts 10:9-23

9NowG1161 on the morrow, as they were on their journey, and drew nigh unto the cityG4172, PeterG4074 wentG305 up upon the housetopG1430 to prayG4336, about the sixthG1623 hourG5610: 10and he becameG1096 hungry, and desiredG2309 to eatG1089: but while they made ready, he fell into a tranceG1611; 11and he beholdeth the heavenG3772 openedG455, and a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597, as it were a greatG3173 sheetG3607, let downG2597 by fourG5064 cornersG746 upon the earthG1093: 12wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping thingsG3956 of the earthG1093 and birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772. 13And there cameG1096 a voiceG5456 to him, RiseG450, PeterG4074; killG2380 and eatG2068. 14But PeterG4074 saidG3004, Not so, LordG2962; for I have neverG3763 eatenG2068 anything that is commonG2839 and uncleanG169. 15And a voiceG5456 came unto him againG3825 the secondG1208 timeG1208, What GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, make not thou common. 16And this was done thrice: and straightway the vesselG4632 was received up into heavenG3772.

17NowG1161 while PeterG4074 wasG1510 much perplexedG1280 in himself what the visionG3705 which he had seenG3708 might mean, beholdG2400, the menG435 that wereG1510 sentG649 by CorneliusG2883, having made inquiry for Simon’s houseG3614, stood before the gateG4440, 18and calledG5455 and askedG4441 whether SimonG4613, who was surnamed PeterG4074, were lodging there. 19And while PeterG4074 thought on the visionG3705, the SpiritG4151 saidG3004 unto him, BeholdG2400, three menG435 seekG2212 thee. 20But ariseG450, and get thee downG2597, and goG4198 with them, nothingG3367 doubtingG1252: for I have sentG649 them. 21And PeterG4074 wentG2597 downG2597 to the menG435, and saidG3004, BeholdG2400, I amG1510 he whom ye seekG2212: what isG1510 the causeG156 wherefore ye areG1510 comeG2597? 22And they saidG3004, CorneliusG2883 a centurionG1543, a righteousG1342 manG435 and oneG3588 that feareth GodG2316, and well reported of by all the nationG1484 of the JewsG2453, was warnedG5537 of GodG2316 by a holyG40 angelG32 to sendG3343 for thee into his houseG3624, and to hearG191 words from thee. 23So he called them in and lodged them.

And on the morrow he aroseG450 and wentG1831 forthG1831 with them, and certainG5100 of the brethren from JoppaG2445 accompanied him.
