Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them. "
1. Peter is to go with them - Where? Where they need him to go, he is to follow.
2. Doubting nothing - This is the hard part. I could follow, but I am sure my mind would be filled with doubts about these strangers.
3. "I sent them" - God wants Peter to know that they are there, not by accident, but on purpose. They were directed to Peter.
