He'll tell you something that will save your life—in fact, you and everyone you care for.'

Contextual Overview
1The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him 3and said, "You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them." 4But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events: 5"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me. 6I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7Then I heard a voice saying to me, 'Get up, Peter, kill and eat.' 8'No, Lord,' I said, 'for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' 9But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.' 10This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And behold, immediately,.... The moment the vision was over;
there were three men already come unto the house where I was; they stood before the gate, as in Acts 10:17 and as the Syriac and Ethiopic here have it, and were inquiring for Peter, whether he lodged there; and these men were
sent from Caesarea unto me; the Syriac version adds, "by Cornelius": now this incident being just at the close of the above vision, served greatly to explain it to the apostle, and encouraged him to do what he had done; and besides which, he had also the express order of the Spirit, for his going with them to Cornelius's house, as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
