Acts 10:4-15
4And 1fixingG816 his gazeG816 on him and beingG1096 muchG1719 alarmedG1719, he saidG3004, “WhatG5101 is it, LordG2962?” And he saidG3004 to him, “Your prayersG4335 and 2almsG1654 3have ascendedG305 4as a memorialG3422 beforeG1715 GodG2316. 5NowG3568 dispatchG3992 some menG435 to 5JoppaG2445 and sendG3343 for a manG5100 named SimonG4613, whoG3739 is also calledG1941 PeterG4074; 6he is stayingG3579 with a tannerG1038 named 6SimonG4613, whoseG3739 houseG3614 is by the seaG2281.” 7WhenG5613 the angelG32 who was speakingG2980 to him had leftG565, he summonedG5455 twoG1417 of his 7servantsG3610 and a devoutG2152 soldierG4757 of thoseG3588 who were his personalG4342 attendantsG4342, 8and after he had explainedG1834 everythingG537 to them, he sentG649 them to 8JoppaG2445.
9On the nextG1887 dayG1887, as they were on their wayG3596 and approachingG1448 the cityG4172, 9PeterG4074 wentG305 up on 10the housetopG1430 aboutG4012 11the 12sixthG1623 hourG5610 to prayG4336. 10But he becameG1096 hungryG4361 and was desiringG2309 to eatG1089; but while they were makingG3903 preparationsG3903, he 13fellG1096 into a tranceG1611; 11and he sawG2334 14the 15skyG3772 openedG455 up, and an 16objectG4632 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 17crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062 of the earthG1093 and birdsG4071 of the 18airG3772. 13A voiceG5456 cameG1096 to him, “GetG450 up, PeterG4074, 19killG2380 and eatG2068!” 14But PeterG4074 saidG3004, “By noG3365 meansG3365, 20LordG2962, for 21I have neverG3763 eatenG2068 anythingG3956 22unholyG2839 and uncleanG169.” 15AgainG3825 a voiceG5456 came to him a secondG1208 timeG1208, “23WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer considerG2840 24unholyG2839.”
