Wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth and fowls of the air.
13
And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter. Kill and eat.
14
But Peter said: Far be it from me. For I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
15
And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
16
And this was done thrice. And presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17
Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon’s house, stood at the gate.
18
And when they had called, they asked if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19
And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20
Arise, therefore: get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21
Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek. What is the cause for which you are come?
