Context of Acts 10:8

6He is staying at the house of Simon the tanner. His house is near the sea.’ 7Then the angel who spoke to Cornelius went away. Cornelius told two of his servants and a soldier of his group to come to him. The soldier was one of those who served Cornelius. He was a good man who obeyed God. Cornelius explained to these three men what the angel had said to him. Then he sent them to Joppa. 9The next day, at about noon, Cornelius's men were coming near to Joppa. At this time, Peter went up on the roof of the house to pray to God. 10He became hungry and he wanted to eat some food. While someone was preparing a meal for him, Peter had a special dream.
