Acts 10:31 In-Context

29 That is why I didn't object to coming here when you sent for me. I want to know why you sent for me."
30 Cornelius answered, "Four days ago I was praying at home. It was at this same time, three o'clock in the afternoon. Suddenly, a man dressed in radiant clothes stood in front of me.
31 He said to me, 'Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and has remembered your gifts to the poor.
32 So send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man whose name is Simon Peter. He's a guest in the home of Simon, a leatherworker who lives by the sea.'
33 So I sent for you immediately. Thank you for coming. All of us are here now in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has ordered you to say."
