Acts

⁴Staring at the angel and feeling afraid, Cornelius said, “What do you want, sir?” The angel said to him, “God has heard your prayers and has seen your gifts to the poor. He remembers you and all you have done. ⁵Send some men now to the city of Joppa to get a man named Simon, who is also called Peter. ⁶He is staying with someone also named Simon, a leatherworker who has a house beside the sea.” ⁷The angel who spoke to Cornelius left. Then Cornelius called two of his servants and a soldier. The soldier was a religious man, one of his close helpers. ⁸Cornelius explained everything to these three men and sent them to Joppa. ⁹The next day they were coming near Joppa about noon, when Peter was going up to the roof to pray. ¹⁰He was hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were preparing the food for Peter to eat, he had a vision.
