13And there came a voice to him, Arise, Peter; slay, and eat.
14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common and unclean.
15And a voice came to him again, the second time, That which God hath cleansed, call not thou common.
16This was done three times; and the vessel was immediately taken up into heaven.
17Now, while Peter was doubting within himself what the vision which he had seen meant, lo! the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate;
18and they called, and asked whether Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19And while Peter was meditating on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee;
20but arise, and go down, and go with them, without scruple; for I have sent them.
21And Peter went down to the men and said, Behold, I am he whom ye are seeking; for what cause have ye come?
22And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and to hear words from thee.
23Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24And the morrow after, he came into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
