Acts 10:10-17

¹⁰And he became hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.

¹¹And he saw heaven having been opened, and descending to him a certain vessel like a great sheet, having been bound at the four corners, and being let down upon the ground,

¹²in which were all the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild animals, and the reptiles, and the birds of the air.

¹³And there came a voice to him, saying, “Arise, Peter; kill and eat.”

¹⁴But Peter said, “By no means, Lord! For never did I eat anything common or unclean.”

¹⁵And a voice spoke again the second time to him, “That which God has made clean, you must not make common.”

¹⁶And this happened three times, and again the vessel was taken up into heaven.

¹⁷Now as Peter was very perplexed within himself as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having found by inquiry the house of Simon, stood at the gateway.
