Who is living with Simon, a leather-worker, whose house is by the sea.
7
And when the angel who said these words to him had gone away, he sent for two of his house-servants, and a God-fearing man of the army, one of those who were waiting on him at all times;
8
And having given them an account of everything, he sent them to Joppa.
9
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.
