* On the morrow , as they went on their journey (5723 ), and drew nigh (5723 ) unto the city , Peter went up (5627 ) upon the housetop to pray (5664 ) about the sixth hour : * And he became (5633 ) very hungry , and would (5707 ) have eaten (5664 ): but while they made ready (5723 ), he fell (5627 ) into a trance , * And saw (5719 ) heaven opened (5772 ), and a certain vessel descending (5723 ) unto him , as it had been a great sheet knit (5772 ) at the four corners , and let down (5746 ) to the earth : * Wherein were (5707 ) all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth , and wild beasts , and creeping things , and fowls of the air . * And there came (5633 ) a voice to him , Rise (5631 ), Peter ; kill (5657 ), and eat (5628 ). * But Peter said (5627 ), Not so , Lord ; for I have never eaten (5627 ) any thing that is common or unclean . * And the voice spake unto him again the second time , What God hath cleansed (5656 ), that call not thou common (5720 ). * This was done (5633 ) thrice : and the vessel was received up (5681 ) again into heaven . * Now while Peter doubted (5707 ) in himself what this vision which he had seen (5627 ) should mean (5751 ), behold (5628 ), the men which were sent (5772 ) from Cornelius had made enquiry (5660 ) for Simons house , and stood (5627 ) before the gate , * And called (5660 ), and asked (5711 ) whether Simon , which was surnamed (5746 ) Peter , were lodged (5743 ) there . * While Peter thought (5740 ) on the vision , the Spirit said (5627 ) unto him , Behold (5628 ), three men seek (5719 ) thee . * Arise (5631 ) therefore , and get thee down (5628 ), and go (5737 ) with them , doubting (5734 ) nothing : for I have sent (5758 ) them . * Then Peter went down (5631 ) to the men which were sent (5772 ) unto him from Cornelius ; and said (5627 ), Behold (5628 ), I am (5748 ) he whom ye seek (5719 ): what is the cause wherefore ye are come (5748 )? * And they said (5627 ), Cornelius the centurion , a just man , and one that feareth (5740 ) God , and of good report (5746 ) among all the nation of the Jews , was warned from God (5681 ) by an holy angel to send (5664 ) for thee into his house , and to hear (5658 ) words of thee . * Then called he them in (5662 ), and lodged (5656 ) them . And on the morrow Peter went away (5627 ) with them , and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied (5627 ) him . * And the morrow after they entered (5627 ) into Caesarea . And Cornelius waited for (5723 ) them (5713 ), and had called together (5671 ) his kinsmen and near friends . * And as Peter was (5633 ) coming in (5629 ), Cornelius met (5660 ) him , and fell down (5631 ) at his feet , and worshipped (5656 ) him . * But Peter took him up (5656 ), saying (5723 ), Stand up (5628 ); I myself also am (5748 ) a man . * And as he talked (5723 ) with him , he went in (5627 ), and found (5719 ) many that were come together (5761 ). * And he said (5713 ) unto them , Ye know (5736 ) how that it is (5748 ) an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company (5745 ), or come unto (5738 ) one of another nation ; but God hath shewed (5656 ) me that I should not call (5721 ) any man common or unclean . * Therefore came I (5627 ) unto you without gainsaying , as soon as I was sent for (5685 ): I ask (5736 ) therefore for what intent ye have sent for (5662 ) me ? * And Cornelius said (5713 ), Four days ago I was (5713 ) fasting (5723 ) until this hour ; and at the ninth hour I prayed (5740 ) in my house , and , behold (5628 ), a man stood (5627 ) before me in bright clothing , * And said (5748 ), Cornelius , thy prayer is heard (5681 ), and thine alms are had in remembrance (5681 ) in the sight of God . * Send (5657 ) therefore to Joppa , and call hither (5669 ) Simon , whose surname is (5743 ) Peter ; he is lodged (5743 ) in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side : who , when he cometh (5637 ), shall speak (5692 ) unto thee . * Immediately therefore I sent (5656 ) to thee ; and thou hast well done (5656 ) that thou art come (5637 ). Now therefore are we all here present (5748 ) before God , to hear (5658 ) all things that are commanded (5772 ) thee of God .
