44:010:005 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose
           surname is Peter: 

44:010:006 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea
           side:  he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

44:010:007 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he
           called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of
           them that waited on him continually;

44:010:008 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent
           them to Joppa.

44:010:009 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh
           unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about
           the sixth hour: 

44:010:010 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten:  but while
           they made ready, he fell into a trance,

44:010:011 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon
           him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners,
           and let down to the earth: 

44:010:012 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and
           wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

44:010:013 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

44:010:014 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing
           that is common or unclean.

44:010:015 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God
           hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

44:010:016 This was done thrice:  and the vessel was received up again
           into heaven.

44:010:017 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he
           had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from
           Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before
           the gate,

44:010:018 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter,
           were lodged there.

44:010:019 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,
           Behold, three men seek thee.

44:010:020 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting
           nothing:  for I have sent them.

44:010:021 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from
           Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek:  what is the
           cause wherefore ye are come?

44:010:022 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one
           that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of
           the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for
           thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

44:010:023 Then called he them in, and lodged them.  And on the morrow
           Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa
           accompanied him.
