Chapter 9, verse 38 - Chapter 10, verse 20
38
As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
39
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40
Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41
He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42
And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43
It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Chapter 10
1
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2
a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
3
At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4
He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
5
Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
6
He lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.”
7
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8
Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9
Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13
A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
14
But Peter said, “Not so, Lord
15
A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
16
This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.
17
Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
18
and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.
19
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
20
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing
