Acts 10:6-16

⁶Hee lodgeth with one Simon a Tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to doe.

⁷And when the Angel which spake vnto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his seruants, and a souldier that feared God, one of them that waited on him,

⁸And tolde them all things, and sent them to Ioppa.

⁹On the morow as they went on their iourney, and drew neere vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixt houre.

¹⁰Then waxed hee an hungred, and would haue eaten: but while they made some thing ready, he fell into a trance.

¹¹And hee sawe heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had bene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and was let downe to the earth.

¹²Wherein were all maner of foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.

¹³And there came a voyce to him, Arise, Peter: kill, and eate.

¹⁴But Peter sayd, Not so, Lord: for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is polluted, or vncleane.

¹⁵And the voyce spake vnto him againe the second time, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.

¹⁶This was so done thrise: and the vessell was drawen vp againe into heauen.
