Context of Acts 10:5

3One day, about three in the afternoon, he had a vision. He clearly saw an angel from God come to him and say, “Cornelius!” 4He stared at the angel and was terrified. Cornelius asked the angel, “What do you want, sir?” The angel answered him, “God is aware of your prayers and your gifts to the poor, and he has remembered you. Send messengers now to the city of Joppa, and summon a man whose name is Simon Peter. 6He is a guest of Simon, a leatherworker, whose house is by the sea.” 7After saying this, the angel left. Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier, one of those who served him regularly.
