And having given them an account of everything, he sent them to Joppa.

Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:
10
And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;
11
And he saw the heavens opening, and a vessel coming down, like a great cloth let down on the earth,
12
In which were all sorts of beasts and birds.
13
And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
14
But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.
15
And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
16
And this was done three times: and then the vessel was taken back into heaven.

Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,
18
To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.
