5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: |
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. |
7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; |
8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. |
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: |
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, |
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: |
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. |
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. |
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. |
