Acts 10:13-24

¹³And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.

¹⁴But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.

¹⁵And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

¹⁶And this was done three times: and then the vessel was taken back into heaven.

¹⁷Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,

¹⁸To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.

¹⁹And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.

²⁰Go down, then, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.

²¹And Peter went down to the men, and said, I am the man you are looking for: why have you come?

²²And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.

²³So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.

²⁴And the day after that, they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having got together his relations and his near friends.
