15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that xcall not thou common. 16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

17 Now while Peter ydoubted in himself what this fvision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and zstood before athe gate, 18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. 19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, bthree men seek thee. 20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and cgo with them, ddoubting nothing: for I have sent them. 21 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? 22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and eone that feareth God, and fof good report among all the nation of the Jews, was gwarned from God by an hholy angel to send for thee into his house, and ito hear words of thee. 23 Then called he them in, and lodged them.

Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

34 Then Peter copened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is dno respecter of persons:
