Acts 10:8-32
and when he had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.About noon the next day, while they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.He became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing the meal, a trance came over him.He saw heaven opened and an object something like a large sheet descending, being let down to earth by its four corners.In it were all kinds of four- footed animals and reptiles of the earth and wild birds.Then a voice said to him,“ Get up, Peter; slaughter and eat!”But Peter said,“ Certainly not, Lord, for I have never eaten anything defiled and ritually unclean!”The voice spoke to him again, a second time,“ What God has made clean, you must not consider ritually unclean!”This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven.Now while Peter was puzzling over what the vision he had seen could signify, the men sent by Cornelius had learned where Simon’s house was and approached the gate.They called out to ask if Simon, known as Peter, was staying there as a guest.While Peter was still thinking seriously about the vision, the Spirit said to him,“ Look! Three men are looking for you.But get up, go down, and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”So Peter went down to the men and said,“ Here I am, the person you’re looking for. Why have you come?”They said,“ Cornelius the centurion, a righteous and God- fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message from you.”So Peter invited them in and entertained them as guests. On the next day he got up and set out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.The following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting anxiously for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.So when Peter came in, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.But Peter helped him up, saying,“ Stand up. I too am a mere mortal.”Peter continued talking with him as he went in, and he found many people gathered together.He said to them,“ You know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile, yet God has shown me that I should call no person defiled or ritually unclean.Therefore when you sent for me, I came without any objection. Now may I ask why you sent for me?”Cornelius replied,“ Four days ago at this very hour, at three o’clock in the afternoon, I was praying in my house, and suddenly a man in shining clothing stood before meand said,‘ Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your acts of charity have been remembered before God.Therefore send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. This man is staying as a guest in the house of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’

Acts 11:5-14
“ I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, an object something like a large sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came to me.As I stared I looked into it and saw four- footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and wild birds.I also heard a voice saying to me,‘ Get up, Peter; slaughter and eat!’But I said,‘ Certainly not, Lord, for nothing defiled or ritually unclean has ever entered my mouth!’But the voice replied a second time from heaven,‘ What God has made clean, you must not consider ritually unclean!’This happened three times, and then everything was pulled up to heaven again.At that very moment, three men sent to me from Caesarea approached the house where we were staying.The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.He informed us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying,‘ Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,who will speak a message to you by which you and your entire household will be saved.’
