Acts 11:6-10

⁶Looking intently at it, I began to distinguish quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds;

⁷and I also heard a voice saying to me — ‘Stand up, Peter, kill something and eat.’

⁸‘No, Lord, I cannot,’ I answered, ‘for nothing defiled or unclean has ever passed my lips.’

⁹Then a second time there came a voice from the heavens. ‘What God has pronounced clean’, it said, ‘you must not call defiled.’

¹⁰This happened three times, and then all was drawn up again into the heavens.
