Acts 10:8-32
He told them everything that had happened. Then he sent them to Joppa.It was about noon the next day. The men were on their journey and were approaching the city. Peter went up on the roof to pray.He became hungry. He wanted something to eat. While the meal was being prepared, Peter had a vision.He saw heaven open up. There he saw something that looked like a large sheet. It was being let down to earth by its four corners.It had all kinds of four- footed animals in it. It also had reptiles and birds in it.Then a voice told him,“ Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”“ No, Lord! I will not!” Peter replied.“ I have never eaten anything that is not pure and‘ clean.’ ”The voice spoke to him a second time. It said,“ Do not say anything is not pure that God has made‘ clean.’ ”This happened three times. Right away the sheet was taken back up to heaven.Peter was wondering what the vision meant. At that very moment the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house. They stopped at the gateand called out. They asked if Simon Peter was staying there.Peter was still thinking about the vision. The Holy Spirit spoke to him.“ Simon,” he said,“ three men are looking for you.Get up and go downstairs. Don’t let anything keep you from going with them. I have sent them.”Peter went down and spoke to the men.“ I’m the one you’re looking for,” he said.“ Why have you come?”The men replied,“ We have come from Cornelius, the Roman commander. He is a good man who worships God. All the Jewish people respect him. A holy angel told him to invite you to his house. Then Cornelius can hear what you have to say.”Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests. The next day Peter went with the three men. Some of the believers from Joppa went along.The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them. He had called together his relatives and close friends.When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him. As a sign of respect, he fell at Peter’s feet.But Peter made him get up.“ Stand up,” he said.“ I am only a man myself.”As he was talking with Cornelius, Peter went inside. There he found a large group of people.He said to them,“ You know that it is against our law for a Jew to enter a Gentile home. A Jew shouldn’t have any close contact with a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not say anyone is not pure and‘ clean.’So when you sent for me, I came without asking any questions. May I ask why you sent for me?”Cornelius answered,“ Three days ago at this very hour I was in my house praying. It was three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood in front of me.He said,‘ Cornelius, God has heard your prayer. He has remembered your gifts to poor people.Send someone to Joppa to get Simon Peter. He is a guest in the home of another Simon, who works with leather. He lives by the sea.’

“ I was in the city of Joppa praying,” he said.“ There I had a vision. I saw something that looked like a large sheet. It was being let down from heaven by its four corners. It came down to where I was.I looked into it and saw four- footed animals of the earth. There were also wild animals, reptiles and birds.Then I heard a voice speaking to me.‘ Get up, Peter,’ the voice said.‘ Kill and eat.’“ I replied,‘ No, Lord! I will not! Nothing that is not pure and“ clean” has ever entered my mouth.’“ A second time the voice spoke from heaven. The voice said,‘ Do not say anything is not pure that God has made“ clean.” ’This happened three times. Then the sheet was pulled up into heaven.“ Just then three men stopped at the house where I was staying. They had been sent to me from Caesarea.The Holy Spirit told me not to let anything keep me from going with them. These six brothers here went with me.
