The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And a voice came to him, \u201cRise, Peter; kill and eat.\u201d But Peter said, \u201cNot so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.\u201d And a voice spoke to him again the second time, \u201cWhat God has cleansed you must not call common.\u201d This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again. Now while Peter wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon\u2019s house, and stood before the gate. And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there. While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, \u201cBehold, three men are seeking you. Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.\u201d Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, \u201cYes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?\u201d And they said, \u201cCornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.\u201d Then he invited them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter went away with them, and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.\nActs 10:9\u202d-\u202c23 NKJV\n\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/support
