Should I then take your son back to the land you came from?" 6 Abraham said to him, "Make sure that you do not take my son back there. 7 The Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's household and my native land, who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, 'To your descendants I will give this land,' will send His angel before you so that you can find a wife for my son there. 8 If the woman is unwilling to come back with you, then you will be released from this oath of mine. But do not take my son back there." 9 So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter. 10 The servant took ten camels from his master’s herds and set out, taking with him all kinds of good gifts from his master.

    17While Peter was deeply perplexed about what the vision he had seen might mean, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius had asked for Simon’s house and stood at the gate.

    18They called out, asking if Simon, also known as Peter, was staying there as a guest.

    19While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, 'Behold, three men are looking for you.'

    20Now rise, go down, and accompany them without hesitation, for I have sent them.

    21So Peter went down to the men and said, 'Behold, I am the one you are looking for. Why have you come?'

    22They replied, 'Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear what you have to say.'

    33So immediately, I sent for you, and you were kind enough to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to say.

    6The night before Herod was to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while guards stood watch in front of the door of the prison.

    7Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side to wake him, the angel said, 'Get up quickly.' Immediately, the chains fell off Peter's hands.

    8The angel said to him, 'Get dressed and put on your sandals.' Peter did so. Then the angel said, 'Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.'

    9Peter followed him out, but he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real; he thought he was seeing a vision.
