Acts 10:13-24

¹³And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.

¹⁴And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.

¹⁵And there was a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.

¹⁶And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.

¹⁷And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

¹⁸and having called some one, they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.

¹⁹But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;

²⁰but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them.

²¹And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?

²²And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee.

²³Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him.

²⁴And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and his intimate friends.
