2And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,
3Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.
4Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
5I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came to me.
6Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
7Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.
8And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
9But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
10And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.
11Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
12And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house.
13And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
14He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.
