Acts 11:2-10

²And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

³Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them?

⁴But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying:

⁵I was in the city of Joppe praying, and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even unto me.

⁶Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air:

⁷And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.

⁸And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.

⁹And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.

¹⁰And this was done three times: and all were taken up again into heaven.
