Acts 10:7

Cornelius

5 Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.

6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.

8 He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.

9 The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
