    6 Upon which when I had fixed my eyes, I considered and saw four-footed animals of the earth, and wild beasts, and crawling creatures, and birds of the air.

    19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek you.

    20 Arise therefore, and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

    21 Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom you seek: what is the reason why you have come?

    22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one who fears God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to hear words from you.

    32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call here Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is staying in the house of one Simon a tanner by the seaside: when he comes, he will speak to you.
