Peter and Cornelius
1 (Ac 27:1; 8:40) In Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, the centurion
[Commander with the rank of captain over 100 soldiers.] of a band of soldiers
called the Italian Detachment,
2 (Ac 10:22; 13:16; 13:26) a devout man and one who feared God with
all his household, who gave many alms to the people and continually
prayed to God.
3 (Ac 3:1; 5:19) About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision
an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius."
4 (Heb 6:10; Ps 141:2) When he looked at him he was afraid, and said,
"What is it, Lord?"
He said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up as a memorial
before God.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and bring back Simon whose surname is Peter.
6 (Ac 9:43) He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
He will tell you what you must do."
7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed,
Cornelius called two of his household servants
and a devout soldier from among those who continually waited on him.
8 When he had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 (Ps 55:17; Zep 1:5) The next day as they went on their journey a
nd drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray
about the sixth hour.
10 (Ac 22:17) He became very hungry and desired to eat.
But while they prepared a meal, he fell into a trance
11 (Jn 1:51) and saw heaven opened, and a vessel like a great sheet,
tied at the four corners, descending to him, and let down to the earth.
12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth and wild beasts
and reptiles and birds of the air.
13 Then a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat."
14 (Eze 4:14; Lev 20:25) Peter said, "Not at all, Lord.
For I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."
15 (Mt 15:11; 1Co 10:25) The voice spoke to him a second time:
"What God has cleansed, do not call common."
16 This happened three times. And again the vessel was taken up into heaven.
[ his vision is about Peter accepting Gentiles as Christ followers and
not about unclean foods being clean]
