    3saying, 'You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.'

    4But Peter began to explain it to them step by step, saying:

    5'I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision: something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me.

    6As I looked closely at it, I noticed four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.

    7I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter; kill and eat.’

    8But I said, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

    9The voice spoke from heaven a second time: ‘What God has made clean, you must not call unclean.’

    3One afternoon, about three o’clock, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying, 'Cornelius.'

    4Cornelius gazed at him in fear and asked, 'What is it, Lord?' The angel replied, 'Your prayers and your acts of charity have ascended as a memorial offering before God.'

    5Now send men to Joppa and call for Simon, who is also named Peter.

    6He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do.

    7When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants.

    8After describing everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

    9The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray about noon.

    11He saw heaven opened, and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

    12In it were all kinds of four-footed animals, reptiles, and birds of the air.

    13Then a voice said to him, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'

    14But Peter said, 'By no means, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.'

    15Again, the voice came to him a second time, saying, 'What God has made clean, you must not call common.'

    17While Peter was deeply perplexed about what the vision he had seen might mean, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius had asked for Simon’s house and stood at the gate.

    18They called out, asking if Simon, also known as Peter, was staying there as a guest.

    19While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, 'Behold, three men are looking for you.'

    20Now rise, go down, and accompany them without hesitation, for I have sent them.

    21So Peter went down to the men and said, 'Behold, I am the one you are looking for. Why have you come?'

    22They replied, 'Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear what you have to say.'

    23So Peter invited them in as his guests. The next day he got up and went with them. Some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.

    24The following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

    25When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.

    26But Peter lifted him up and said, 'Stand up! I myself am also a man.'

    27While talking with him, Peter went inside and found many people gathered.

    28He said to them, 'You know it is forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner, but God has shown me that I must not call any person common or unclean.'

    29That is why I came without objection when I was sent for. Now may I ask why you sent for me?

    32Send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.'
