Acts 10:10-20

10But he becameG1096 hungryG4361 and was desiringG2309 to eatG1089; but while they were makingG3903 preparationsG3903, he 1fellG1096 into a tranceG1611; 11and he sawG2334 2the 3skyG3772 openedG455 up, and an 4objectG4632 likeG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 comingG2597 downG2524, loweredG2524 by fourG5064 cornersG746 to the groundG1093, 12and there were in it allG3956 kinds of four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 and 5crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062 of the earthG1093 and birdsG4071 of the 6airG3772. 13A voiceG5456 cameG1096 to him, “GetG450 up, PeterG4074, 7killG2380 and eatG2068!” 14But PeterG4074 saidG3004, “By noG3365 meansG3365, 8LordG2962, for 9I have neverG3763 eatenG2068 anythingG3956 10unholyG2839 and uncleanG169.” 15AgainG3825 a voiceG5456 came to him a secondG1208 timeG1208, “11WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer considerG2840 12unholyG2839.” 16ThisG3778 happenedG1096 threeG5151 timesG5151, and immediatelyG2117 the 13objectG4632 was takenG353 up into the 14skyG3772.

17NowG1161 whileG5613 PeterG4074 was greatlyG1280 perplexedG1280 in 15mindG1438 as to whatG5101 16the visionG3705 whichG3739 he had seenG3708 might be, beholdG2400, 17the menG435 who had been sentG649 by CorneliusG2883, having askedG1331 directionsG1331 for Simon’sG4613 houseG3614, appearedG2186 at the gateG4440; 18and callingG5455 out, they were askingG4441 whetherG1487 SimonG4613, who was also calledG1941 PeterG4074, was stayingG3579 thereG1759. 19While PeterG4074 was reflectingG1327 on 18the visionG3705, 19the SpiritG4151 saidG3004 to him, “BeholdG2400, 20threeG5140 menG435 are lookingG2212 for you. 20But getG450 up, goG2597 downstairsG2597 and 21accompanyG4198G4862 them 22withoutG3367 misgivingsG1252, for I have sentG649 them MyselfG1473.”
