13Then a voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!”
14But Peter said: “No way, Lord! Never have I eaten anything ‘common’ or unclean!”
15So the voice came to him a second time, “What (pl) God has made clean you must not call ‘common’!”
16Well this happened three times, and then the object was taken back up into the sky.
17Now as Peter was really perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might mean, well the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having inquired and found Simon's house, stood before the gate,
18and calling out they inquired whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was staying there as a guest.
19So as Peter was pondering the vision the Spirit said to him: “Listen, some men are looking for you;
20so get up and go downstairs; and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.”
21So going down to the men Peter said: “Yes, I am the one you are looking for. For what reason have you come?”
22So they said: “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by an angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.”
23So he invited them in and put them up. The next day Peter set out with them, also some of the brothers from Joppa went with him;
24and the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and close friends.
25So when Peter actually arrived, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshiped.
26But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27And conversing with him he went in and found many gathered there.
