17. Peter was very perplexed. What could the vision mean? Just then the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house. Standing outside the gate,
18. they asked if a man named Simon Peter was staying there.
19. Meanwhile, as Peter was puzzling over the vision, the Holy Spirit said to him, “Three men have come looking for you.
20. Get up, go downstairs, and go with them without hesitation. Don’t worry, for I have sent them.”
21. So Peter went down and said, “I’m the man you are looking for. Why have you come?”
22. They said, “We were sent by Cornelius, a Roman officer. He is a devout and God-fearing man, well respected by all the Jews. A holy angel instructed him to summon you to his house so that he can hear your message.”
23. So Peter invited the men to stay for the night. The next day he went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
