ThisG3778 happenedG1096 three timesG5151, andG2532 all at onceG2112 theG3588 sheet was taken back upG353 intoG1519 heavenG3772.

WhileG5613 PeterG4074 was puzzling overG1280G1722G1438 the meaningG5101G1510G302 of theG3588 visionG3705G3739G3708, theG3588 menG435 sentG649 byG5259 CorneliusG2883 foundG1331 Simon’sG4613 houseG3614 and approachedG2186G1909 theG3588 gateG4440. 18They called outG5455 to askG4441 ifG1487 SimonG4613 calledG1941 PeterG4074 was stayingG3579 there.

19AsG1161 PeterG4074 continued to reflectG1760 onG4012 theG3588 visionG3705, theG3588 SpiritG4151 saidG2036 to himG846, “BeholdG2400, threeG5140 menG435 are looking forG2212 youG4771.1 20SoG235 get upG450! Go downstairsG2597 andG2532 accompanyG4198G4862 themG846 withoutG3367 hesitationG1252, becauseG3754 IG1473 have sentG649 themG846.”

21So PeterG4074 went downG2597 toG4314 theG3588 menG4352 and saidG2036, “HereG2400 amG1510 IG1473, the oneG3739 you are looking forG2212. WhyG5101G3588G156G1223G3739 have you comeG3918?”

22“CorneliusG2883 the centurionG1543 has sent us,” they saidG2036. “He is a righteousG1342 andG2532 God-fearingG2316G5399 manG435 with a good reputationG3140 amongG5259 theG3588 wholeG3650 JewishG3588G2453 nationG1484. A holyG40 angelG32 instructedG5537G5259 him to request your presenceG3343G4771 inG1519 hisG846 homeG3624 so he could hearG191 a messageG4487 fromG3844 youG4771.”

23SoG3767 Peter invited them inG1528G846 as his guestsG3579. AndG1161 theG3588 next dayG1887 he got readyG450 and wentG1831 withG4862 themG846, accompanied byG4905 someG5100 of theG3588 brothersG80 fromG575 JoppaG2445.

TheG3588 following dayG1887 he arrivedG1525 inG1519 CaesareaG2542, where CorneliusG2883 wasG1510 expectingG4328 themG846 and had called togetherG4779 hisG846 relativesG4773 andG2532 closeG316 friendsG5384. 25AsG5613 PeterG4074 was aboutG1096 to enterG1525, CorneliusG2883 metG4876 himG846 and fellG4098 atG1909 his feetG4228 to worshipG4352 him. 26ButG1161 PeterG4074 helped him upG1453G846. “Stand upG450,” he saidG3004, “IG1473 amG1510 onlyG2532 a manG444 myselfG846.”

27As Peter talked withG4926 himG846, he went insideG1525 andG2532 foundG2147 manyG4183 people gathered togetherG4905. 28He saidG5346 toG4314 themG846, “YouG4771 knowG1987 howG5613 unlawfulG111 it isG1510 for a JewG435G2453 to associate withG2853 a foreignerG246 orG2228 visitG4334 him. ButG3588 GodG2316 has shownG1166 meG2504 that I should not callG3367G3004 any manG444 impureG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
