Acts 10:3-8

³At about 3 p.m. one day he had a vision in which he saw very clearly an angel of God who came to him and called to him, “Cornelius!”

⁴Frightened, Cornelius stared at him and asked, “What do you want, Lord?” “God has paid attention to your prayers, and recognized your generosity to the poor,” he told Cornelius.

⁵“Now send some men to Joppa, and fetch Simon, also called Peter,

⁶who is staying at Simon the tanner's house down by the sea-shore.”

⁷When the angel who had spoken to him had left, Cornelius called in two of his house-servants and a soldier of his personal guard, a religious man.

⁸After he'd explained to them all that had happened he sent them to Joppa.
