Acts 10:5-14

⁵And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:

⁶He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.

⁷And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.

⁸To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.

⁹And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

¹⁰And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.

¹¹And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:

¹²Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.

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

¹⁴But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
