3 About three in the afternoon he distinctly saw in a vision an angel of God who came in and said to him, “Cornelius! ”
4 Looking intently at him, he became afraid and said, “What is it, lord? ”The angel told him, “Your prayers and your acts of charity have come up as a memorial offering before God.
5 Now send men to Joppa and call for Simon, who is also named Peter.
6 He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, he called two of his household slaves and a devout soldier, who was one of those who attended him.
8 After explaining everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 The next day, as they were traveling and nearing the city, Peter went up to pray on the housetop about noon.
