16
This happened three times, and the thing was suddenly taken up to heaven.
17
Now while Peter was greatly puzzled about what to make of the vision that he had seen, suddenly the men sent by Cornelius appeared. They were asking for Simon's house and were standing by the gate.
18
They called out to ask whether Simon, who was called Peter, was staying there.
19
While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look, three men are searching for you.
20
Now get up, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them."
21
So Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for your coming?"
22
They answered, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say."
23
So Peter invited them in and gave them lodging. The next day he got up and went with them, and some of the believers from Joppa accompanied him.
24
The following day they came to Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25
On Peter's arrival Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, worshiped him.
26
But Peter made him get up, saying, "Stand up; I am only a mortal."
