2 But when Peter came to Jerusalem, they that were of (the) circumcision, disputed against him,
3 and said, Why enteredest thou to men that have prepuce, and hast eaten with them? (and said, Why hast thou gone to those who have foreskin, or who be uncircumcised, and hast eaten with them?)
4 And Peter began, and expounded to them by order, and said,
5 I was in the city of Joppa, and prayed, and I saw in (the) ravishing of my mind, or in (the) excess of my soul, a vision, that a vessel came down, as a great sheet with four cords or with four corners, and was sent down from heaven; and it came to me.
6 Into which I looking beheld, and saw (the) four-footed beasts of the earth, and (other) beasts, and (the) creeping beasts, and (the) volatiles of (the) heaven(s), or of the air, (or and the birds of the air).
7 And I heard also a voice that said to me, Peter, rise thou, and slay, and eat.
8 But I said, Nay, Lord; for common thing either unclean entered never into my mouth. (But I said, No, Lord; for a common or an unclean thing hath never entered into my mouth.)
9 And the voice answered the second time from heaven, That thing that God hath cleansed, say thou not unclean.
10 And this was done by thrice, and (then) all (the) things were received again into heaven.
