Acts 11:12

The Holy Spirit

10 This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.

11 Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.

The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s home.

13 He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.

14 He will convey to you a message by which you and all your household will be saved.’
