Acts 10:14-22

¹⁴But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that was defiled and unclean.”

¹⁵But the voice came to him again a second time: “What God has cleansed, do not call it defiled.”

¹⁶This happened three times; then the container was immediately taken back up into the sky.

¹⁷Now while Peter was very confused about what the vision that he had seen could mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius stood before the gate, after they had asked their way to the house.

¹⁸They called out and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there.

¹⁹While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

²⁰Arise and go down and go with them. Do not hesitate to go with them, because I have sent them.”

²¹So Peter went down to the men and said, “I am he whom you are seeking. Why have you come?”

²²They said, “A centurion named Cornelius, a righteous man and one who worships God, and is well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was told by a holy angel of God to send for you to come to his house, so he could listen to a message from you.”
