Peter Visits Cornelius

17While Peter was deeply perplexed about what the vision he had seen might mean, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions to Simon’s house, stood at the gate. 18They called out, asking if Simon, who was also named Peter, was lodging there.

19While Peter was thinking about the vision, the Spirit told him, “Three men are here looking for you. b20Get up, go downstairs, and accompany them with no doubts at all, because I have sent them.” c
