2When Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision party started contending with him,
3saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4So Peter began by explaining it to them in order, saying:
5“I was in the town of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain object like a great sheet coming down out of the sky, being lowered by its four corners; and it came to me.
6Upon peering into it I observed and distinguished the quadrupeds of the earth—both the wild animals and the reptiles—and the birds of the sky.
7Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!’
8So I said: ‘No way, Lord! Never has anything ‘common’ or unclean entered my mouth!’
9But the voice answered me, a second time, from heaven, ‘Things that God has made clean you must not call ‘common’.’
