Acts 10:8-32
After explaining everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.The next day, as they were traveling and nearing the city, Peter went up to pray on the roof about noon.He became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing something, he fell into a trance.He saw heaven opened and an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners to the earth.In it were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, and the birds of the sky.A voice said to him,“ Get up, Peter; kill and eat.”“ No, Lord!” Peter said.“ For I have never eaten anything impure and ritually unclean.”Again, a second time, the voice said to him,“ What God has made clean, do not call impure.”This happened three times, and suddenly the object was taken up into heaven.While Peter was deeply perplexed about what the vision he had seen might mean, right away the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions to Simon’s house, stood at the gate.They called out, asking if Simon, who was also named Peter, was lodging there.While Peter was thinking about the vision, the Spirit told him,“ Three men are here looking for you.Get up, go downstairs, and go with them with no doubts at all, because I have sent them.”Then Peter went down to the men and said,“ Here I am, the one you’re looking for. What is the reason you’re here?”They said,“ Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who has a good reputation with the whole Jewish nation, was divinely directed by a holy angel to call you to his house and to hear a message from you.”Peter then invited them in and gave them lodging. The next day he got up and set out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.The following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.But Peter lifted him up and said,“ Stand up. I myself am also a man.”While talking with him, he went in and found a large gathering of people.Peter said to them,“ You know it’s forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner, but God has shown me that I must not call any person impure or unclean.That’s why I came without any objection when I was sent for. So may I ask why you sent for me?”Cornelius replied,“ Four days ago at this hour, at three in the afternoon, I was praying in my house. Just then a man in dazzling clothing stood before meand said,‘ Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your acts of charity have been remembered in God’s sight.Therefore send someone to Joppa and invite Simon here, who is also named Peter. He is lodging in Simon the tanner’s house by the sea.’

Acts 11:5-14
“ I was in the town of Joppa praying, and I saw, in a trance, an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners from heaven, and it came to me.When I looked closely and considered it, I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.I also heard a voice telling me,‘ Get up, Peter; kill and eat.’“‘ No, Lord!’ I said.‘ For nothing impure or ritually unclean has ever entered my mouth.’But a voice answered from heaven a second time,‘ What God has made clean, you must not call impure.’“ Now this happened three times, and everything was drawn up again into heaven.At that very moment, three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea arrived at the house where we were.The Spirit told me to accompany them with no doubts at all. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we went into the man’s house.He reported to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying,‘ Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is also named Peter.He will speak a message to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’
