Context of Acts 10:8

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. Cornelius explained everything to them and sent them to Joppa. 9Around noon the next day, while Cornelius’ men were on their way and coming close to Joppa, Peter went on the roof to pray. 10He became hungry and wanted to eat. While the food was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
