and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, (A)seven thunders uttered their voices. Now when the seven thunders [a]uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying [b]to me, (B)“Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land (C)raised up his [c]hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, (D)who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, (E)that there should be delay no longer, but (F)in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion.(A) When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders(B) spoke. And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write;(C) but I heard a voice from heaven(D) say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”(E)

Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land(F) raised his right hand to heaven.(G) And he swore(H) by him who lives for ever and ever,(I) who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it,(J) and said, “There will be no more delay!(K) But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet,(L) the mystery(M) of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”(N)

10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and (A)saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! (B)For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”

15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, (C)“What God has [a]cleansed you must not call common.” 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

Summoned to Caesarea

17 Now while Peter [b]wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate. 18 And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.

19 While Peter thought about the vision, (D)the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. 20 (E)Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”

21 Then Peter went down to the men [c]who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”

22 And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and (F)has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.” 23 Then he invited them in and lodged them.

On the next day Peter went away with them, (G)and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

Peter Meets Cornelius

24 And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, (H)“Stand up; I myself am also a man.” 27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together. 28 Then he said to them, “You know how (I)unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But (J)God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”

30 So Cornelius said, [d]“Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, (K)a man stood before me (L)in bright clothing, 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, (M)your prayer has been heard, and (N)your [e]alms are remembered in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. [f]When he comes, he will speak to you.’ 33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”

10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.(A) 11 He saw heaven opened(B) and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

14 “Surely not, Lord!”(C) Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”(D)

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”(E)

16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.

17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision,(F) the men sent by Cornelius(G) found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate. 18 They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.

19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision,(H) the Spirit said(I) to him, “Simon, three[a] men are looking for you. 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”(J)

21 Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re looking for. Why have you come?”

22 The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man,(K) who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.”(L) 23 Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests.

Peter at Cornelius’s House

The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers(M) from Joppa went along.(N) 24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea.(O) Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”(P)

27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.(Q) 28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile.(R) But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.(S) 29 So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”

30 Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes(T) stood before me 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. 32 Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.’ 33 So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
