4And he 1lookedG816 at him intentlyG816 and becameG1096 terrifiedG1719, and saidG3004, “WhatG5101 is it, lordG2962?” And he saidG3004 to him, “Your prayersG4335 and charitableG1654 giftsG1654 2have ascendedG305 3as a memorialG3422 offeringG3422 beforeG1715 GodG2316. 5NowG3568 dispatchG3992 some menG435 to 4JoppaG2445 and sendG3343 for a manG5100 named SimonG4613, whoG3739 is also calledG1941 PeterG4074; 6he is stayingG3579 with a tannerG1038 named 5SimonG4613, whoseG3739 houseG3614 is by the seaG2281.” 7WhenG5613 the angelG32 who spokeG2980 to him leftG565, he summonedG5455 twoG1417 of his 6servantsG3610 and a devoutG2152 soldierG4757 from his personalG4342 attendantsG4342, 8and after he had explainedG1834 everythingG537 to them, he sentG649 them to 7JoppaG2445.

9On the nextG1887 dayG1887, as they were on their wayG3596 and approachingG1448 the cityG4172, 8PeterG4074 wentG305 upG305 on 9the 10housetopG1430 aboutG4012 1112the sixthG1623 hourG5610 to prayG4336. 10But he becameG1096 hungryG4361 and wantedG2309 to eatG1089; but while they were makingG3903 preparationsG3903, he 13fellG1096 into a tranceG1611; 11and he sawG2334 14the skyG3772 openedG455 upG455, and an 15objectG4632 likeG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 comingG2597 downG2597, loweredG2524 by fourG5064 cornersG746 to the groundG1093, 12and on it were allG3956 kinds of four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 and 16crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062 of the earthG1093 and birdsG4071 of the skyG3772. 13A voiceG5456 cameG1096 to him, “GetG450 upG450, PeterG4074, 17killG2380 and eatG2068!” 14But PeterG4074 saidG3004, “By noG3365 meansG3365, 18LordG2962, for 19I have neverG3763 eatenG2068 anythingG3956 20unholyG2839 and uncleanG169.” 15AgainG3825 a voiceG5456 came to him a secondG1208 timeG1208, “21WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer 22considerG2840 unholyG2839.”
