Acts 10:16-24

¹⁶This happened three times, and then the sheet was quickly taken back into heaven.

¹⁷While Peter was puzzling over what the vision he'd seen really meant, the men sent by Cornelius had found out where Simon's house was and were standing at the gate.

¹⁸They called out, asking whether Simon, also called Peter, was staying there.

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

²⁰Get up, go downstairs, and go with them. Don't worry at all because I'm the one who sent them.”

²¹So Peter went downstairs to meet the men. “I'm the one you're looking for,” he said. “Why are you here?”

²²“We come from Cornelius, a good, religious man who has reverence for God and is widely respected among the Jewish people,” they replied. “A holy angel instructed him to send for you to come to his house so he can hear what you have to tell him.”

²³So he invited them in and they stayed there. The next day he got up and left with them. Some of the brothers from Joppa went with them too.

²⁴The following day they arrived in Caesarea where Cornelius was waiting for them with his relatives and close friends whom he'd called together.
