Acts 10:9-23
Legacy Standard Bible
9 And on the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, (A)Peter went up on (B)the housetop about (C)the [a]sixth hour to pray. 10 But he became hungry and was desiring to eat. And while they were making preparations, he (D)fell into a trance 11 and *saw (E)heaven opened up, and [b]an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, 12 and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the [c]sky. 13 And a voice came to him, “Rise up, Peter, [d]slaughter and eat!” 14 But Peter said, “By no means, (F)Lord, for (G)I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.” 15 Again a voice came to him a second time, “(H)What God has cleansed, no longer consider defiled.” 16 And this happened three times and immediately the [e]object was taken up into heaven.
17 Now while Peter was greatly perplexed in [f]mind as to what (I)the vision which he had seen might be, behold, (J)the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions for Simon’s house, appeared at the gate; 18 and calling out, they were asking whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there. 19 And while Peter was reflecting on (K)the vision, (L)the Spirit said to him, “Behold, [g]three men are looking for you. 20 But rise up, go down and (M)accompany them without taking issue at all, for I have sent them Myself.” 21 And Peter went down to the men and said, “Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for which you have come?” 22 And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and (N)God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of the Jews, (O)was directed by a (P)holy angel to summon you to his house and hear [h](Q)a message from you.” 23 So he invited them in and gave them lodging.

And on the next day he rose up and went away with them, and (R)some of (S)the brothers from (T)Joppa went with him.

17 Now while Peter was greatly perplexed in [k]mind as to what (I)the vision which he had seen might be, behold, (J)the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions for Simon’s house, appeared at the gate; 18 and calling out, they were asking whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there. 19 While Peter was reflecting on (K)the vision, (L)the Spirit said to him, “Behold, [l]three men are looking for you. 20 But get up, go downstairs and (M)accompany them [m]without misgivings, for I have sent them Myself.” 21 Peter went down to the men and said, “Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for which you have come?” 22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and (N)God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of the Jews, (O)was divinely directed by a (P)holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear [n](Q)a message from you.” 23 So he invited them in and gave them lodging.
