Acts 11:2-13

²So when Peter and the six other believers returned from Caesarea to Jerusalem, some Jewish believers criticized Peter, because they thought that Jews should not associate with non-Jews MTY.

³They said to him, “Not only was it wrong for you(sg) to visit non-Jewish people, you even ate with them!”

⁴So Peter began to explain exactly what had happened concerning Cornelius.

⁵He said, “I was praying by myself in Joppa town, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw that something like a large sheet was being lowered from heaven. It was tied with ropes at its four corners, and it came down to where I was.

⁶As I was looking intently into it, I saw some tame animals but also animals that our laws forbid us to eat, including wild animals, snakes, and wild birds.

⁷Then I heard God MTY commanding me, ‘Peter, get up, kill some of these, and cook and eat their meat!’

⁸But I replied, ‘Lord, you(sg) surely do not really want me to do that, because I have never eaten MTY meat from any animal that our laws say that we (exc) must not eat SYN!’

⁹God spoke from heaven to me a second time, ‘ I am God, so if I have made something acceptable to eat, do not say that it is not acceptable to eat!’

¹⁰Then after that happened three times, the sheet with all those animals and birds was pulled up into heaven again.”

¹¹“At that exact moment, three men who had been {whom Cornelius had} sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying.

¹²God's Spirit told me that I should be willing to go with them even though they were not Jews. These six Jewish believers from Joppa went with me to Caesarea, and then we (exc) went into that non-Jewish man's house.

¹³He told us that he had seen an angel standing in his house. The angel told him, ‘Tell some men to go to Joppa and bring back Simon whose other name is Peter.
