Acts 10:17-27

17 Now while Peter was greatly perplexed in mind as to what ¹the vision which he had seen might be, behold, ²the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions for Simon's house, appeared at the gate;

18 and calling out, they were asking whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there.

19 While Peter was reflecting on ³the vision, ⁴the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you.

20 "But get up, go downstairs and ⁵accompany * them without misgivings, for I have sent them Myself."

21 Peter went down to the men and said, "Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for which you have come?"

22 They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and ⁶God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of the Jews, ⁷was divinely directed by a ⁸holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear ⁹a message from you."

So he invited them in and gave them lodging.
