Acts 11:5-10

⁵“While I was in the town of Joppa I was praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. Something that looked like a large sheet was being let down by its four corners from heaven, and it came down to me.

⁶When I looked inside I saw animals, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds.

⁷Then I heard a voice that told me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’

⁸But I replied, ‘Absolutely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth!’

⁹The voice from heaven spoke again, and said, ‘Don't you call unclean what God has made clean!’

¹⁰This happened three times, and then it was all taken back into heaven.
