19 Peter was still thinking about the vision. The Holy Spirit spoke to him. "Simon," he said, "three men are looking for you.

20 Get up and go downstairs. Don't let anything keep you from going with them. I have sent them."

21 Peter went down and spoke to the men. "I'm the one you're looking for," he said. "Why have you come?"

22 The men replied, "We have come from Cornelius, the Roman commander. He is a good man who worships God. All the Jewish people respect him. A holy angel told him to invite you to his house. Cornelius wants to hear what you have to say."
