1-3. There was a man named Cornelius who lived in Caesarea, captain of the Italian Guard stationed there. He was a thoroughly good man. He had led everyone in his house to live worshipfully before God, was always helping people in need, and had the habit of prayer. One day about three o’clock in the afternoon he had a vision. An angel of God, as real as his next-door neighbor, came in and said, “Cornelius.”
14. Peter said, “Oh, no, Lord. I’ve never so much as tasted food that was not kosher.”
15. The voice came a second time: “If God says it’s okay, it’s okay.”
16. This happened three times, and then the blanket was pulled back up into the skies.
