Compare all
15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, a“What God has cleansed you must not call common.”  
16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

Summoned to Caesarea

17 Now while Peter1 wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate.  
18 And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.
