Acts:10:1-11

*
But a certain man named Cornelius was in Caesarea ,
a centurion of a cohort being called Italian ,
*
one devout and fearing God ,
with all his household ,
both doing many alms to the people and praying continually to God .
*
About the ninth hour of the day ,
he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God coming to him ,
and saying to him ,
Cornelius !
*
And he was staring at him ,
and becoming terrified he said ,
What is it ,
Sir ?
And he said to him ,
Your prayers and your alms went up for a memorial before God .
*
And now send men to Joppa and call for Simon who is surnamed Peter .
*
This one is lodged with one Simon ,
a tanner ,
whose house is by the sea .
He will tell you what you must do .
*
And when the angel speaking to Cornelius went away ,
calling two of his servants and a devout soldier of those continually waiting on him ,
*
and having explained all things to them ,
he sent them to Joppa .
*
And on the morrow ,
these passing along on the road ,
and drawing near to the city ,
Peter went up on the roof to pray about the sixth hour .
*
And he became hungry and wished to taste food .
But as they were preparing ,
an ecstasy fell on him .
*
And he saw the heaven being opened and a certain vessel like a great sheet coming down on him ,
being bound by four corners ,
and let down onto the earth ;
