Acts 10:1-11:18

[1] a certain  man  in  Caesarea  called  Cornelius,  a centurion  of  the band  called  the Italian  [2] A devout  man, and  one that feared  God  with  all  his  house,  gave  much  alms  to the people,  and  prayed  to God  [3] in  a vision  evidently  about  the ninth  hour  of the day  an angel  of God  coming in  to  him,  and  saying  unto him,  Cornelius.  [4] And  when he looked  on him,  he was  afraid,  and  said,  What  Lord?  And  he said  unto him,  prayers  and  alms  are come up  for  a memorial  God.  [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  by  the sea side:  he  shall tell  what  oughtest  to do.  [7] And  when  the angel  which  spake  was departed,  he called  two  of his  household servants,  and  a devout  soldier  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  made ready,  he  into  a trance,  [11] And  saw  heaven  opened,  and  a certain  vessel  descending  unto  as  it had been a great  sheet  at the four  corners,  and  let down  to  the earth:
