Acts 10:7-15

⁷So when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who were faithful to him,

⁸and explaining everything to them he sent them to Joppa.

⁹Now on the next day, as they were traveling and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.

¹⁰Well he became hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were preparing, a trance fell on him,

¹¹and he saw the heaven opened and a container like a great sheet descending to him—it was tied at the four corners and was being let down to the earth—

¹²in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth (both wild animals and reptiles) and birds of the sky.

¹³Then a voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!”

¹⁴But Peter said: “No way, Lord! Never have I eaten anything ‘common’ or unclean!”

¹⁵So the voice came to him a second time, “What (pl) God has made clean you must not call ‘common’!”
