17Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon`s house, stood before the gate,
18and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, were lodging there.
19And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them.
21And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
22And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned [of God] by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.
23So he called them in and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
