KILL AND EAT

Acts 10:1-23

 Key Verse 10:13 

 “Then a voice told him, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’ ” 
 

Read verses 1-8. What was different about Cornelius? Describe his God-fearing life. How did God want to bless him? What did the angel tell him to do? What does this show us about God?  How did he carry out God’s command?

Read verses 9-16. In the meantime, where was Peter? Describe his vision. Why did Peter revulse at the command, “Kill and eat”? Why did God show Peter ‘impure and unclean’ creatures?  What was God’s word to him?

Read verses 17-23. What was the meaning of the vision and how was it made plain to Peter? How did the men describe Cornelius and what did they ask Peter to do? How did Peter receive them? What does this show about Peter?
