MC
VC
Acts 10:10
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
MC
VC
Acts 10:11
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
MC
VC
Acts 10:12
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
MC
VC
Acts 10:13
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
MC
VC
Acts 10:14
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
MC
VC
Acts 10:15
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
MC
VC
Acts 10:16

MC
VC
Acts 10:17
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,

Acts 10:18
And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
MC
VC
Acts 10:19
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
MC
VC
Acts 10:20

MC

MC
VC
Acts 10:22
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

MC
VC
Acts 10:25
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
MC
VC
Acts 10:26

MC
VC
Acts 10:28

MC
VC
Acts 10:31
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
MC
VC
Acts 10:32
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
MC
VC
Acts 10:33
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
MC
VC

MC
VC
Acts 10:38

2 I
MC
VC
Acts 10:39
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

VC
Acts 10:40
Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
MC
VC
Acts 10:41
Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
MC
VC
Acts 10:42
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
MC
VC
Acts 11:5
I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
MC

Acts 11:6
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
MC
VC
Acts 11:7
And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
MC
VC
Acts 11:8

MC
VC
Acts 11:9

MC
VC
Acts 11:13
And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
MC
VC
Acts 11:14
Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
2 I
MC
VC
Acts 11:15

MC
VC
Acts 11:16
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
6 I
MC
VC
Acts 11:17

MC

MC
VC
Acts 11:25
Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
MC
VC
Acts 11:26
