Acts 10:12-21 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. And a voice came to him, “Rise up, Kĕpha, slay and eat.”

14. But Kĕpha said, “Not at all, Master! Because I have never eaten whatever is common or unclean.”

15. And a voice came to him again the second time, “What Elohim has cleansed you do not consider common.”

16. And this took place three times, and the vessel was taken back to the heaven.

17. And while Kĕpha was doubting within himself about what the vision might mean, look, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having asked for the house of Shim‛on, stood at the gate,

18. and calling out, they enquired whether Shim‛on, also known as Kĕpha, was staying there.

19. And as Kĕpha was thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “See, three men seek you.

20. “But rise up, go down and go with them, not doubting at all, for I have sent them.”

21. So Kĕpha went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Look, I am the one you seek. Why have you come?”
