8After he'd explained to them all that had happened he sent them to Joppa.
9The next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up onto the top of the house to pray. It was about noon,
10and he was getting hungry, wanting to eat. But while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance, and
11he saw heaven opened. He saw something coming down that looked like a large sheet held by its four corners, being lowered onto the earth.
12Inside were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds.
13He heard a voice say, “Get up Peter, kill and eat!”
14But Peter replied, “Certainly not, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is impure and unclean.”
15He heard the voice speak again, “Don't you call unclean what God has made clean!”
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.
