Acts 10:5-18

5NowG3568 dispatchG3992 some menG435 to 1JoppaG2445 and sendG3343 for a manG5100 named SimonG4613, whoG3739 is also calledG1941 PeterG4074; 6he is stayingG3579 with a tannerG1038 named 2SimonG4613, whoseG3739 houseG3614 is by the seaG2281.” 7WhenG5613 the angelG32 who spokeG2980 to him leftG565, he summonedG5455 twoG1417 of his 3servantsG3610 and a devoutG2152 soldierG4757 from his personalG4342 attendantsG4342, 8and after he had explainedG1834 everythingG537 to them, he sentG649 them to 4JoppaG2445.

9On the nextG1887 dayG1887, as they were on their wayG3596 and approachingG1448 the cityG4172, 5PeterG4074 wentG305 upG305 on 6the 7housetopG1430 aboutG4012 89the sixthG1623 hourG5610 to prayG4336. 10But he becameG1096 hungryG4361 and wantedG2309 to eatG1089; but while they were makingG3903 preparationsG3903, he 10fellG1096 into a tranceG1611; 11and he sawG2334 11the skyG3772 openedG455 upG455, and an 12objectG4632 likeG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 comingG2597 downG2597, loweredG2524 by fourG5064 cornersG746 to the groundG1093, 12and on it were allG3956 kinds of four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 and 13crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062 of the earthG1093 and birdsG4071 of the skyG3772. 13A voiceG5456 cameG1096 to him, “GetG450 upG450, PeterG4074, 14killG2380 and eatG2068!” 14But PeterG4074 saidG3004, “By noG3365 meansG3365, 15LordG2962, for 16I have neverG3763 eatenG2068 anythingG3956 17unholyG2839 and uncleanG169.” 15AgainG3825 a voiceG5456 came to him a secondG1208 timeG1208, “18WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer 19considerG2840 unholyG2839.” 16ThisG3778 happenedG1096 threeG5151 timesG5151, and immediatelyG2117 the 20objectG4632 was takenG353 upG353 into the skyG3772.

17NowG1161 whileG5613 PeterG4074 was greatlyG1280 perplexedG1280 in 21mindG1438 as to whatG5101 22the visionG3705 whichG3739 he had seenG3708 might 23mean, beholdG2400, 24the menG435 who had been sentG649 by CorneliusG2883 had askedG1331 directionsG1331 to Simon’sG4613 houseG3614, and they appearedG2186 at the gateG4440; 18and callingG5455 out, they were askingG4441 whetherG1487 SimonG4613, who was also calledG1941 PeterG4074, was stayingG3579 thereG1759.
