Acts 10:16-28

16This happened three times, and the sheet was immediately taken up to heaven.

17Now while Peter was puzzling about what the vision he had seen might mean, behold, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and appeared before the gate.

18They called out and began to ask whether Simon, also called Peter, was staying in this place as a guest.

19Now while Peter was mulling over the vision, the Ruach said to him, “Look here, three men are looking for you.

20But get up, go downstairs, and go with them without hesitating, because I Myself have sent them.”

21Going down to the men, Peter said, “Here, I’m the one you’re looking for. What is the reason for your coming?”

22And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man well-spoken of by all the Jewish people, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message from you.”

23So Peter invited them in to be his guests. The next day he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.

24The following day he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

25As Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.

26But Peter pulled him up, saying, “Stand up! I too am just a man.”

27Talking with him, Peter went inside and found many people gathered.

28He said to them, “You yourselves know that it is not permitted for a Jewish man to associate with a non-Jew or to visit him. Yet God has shown me that I should call no one unholy or unclean.
