Acts 11:7-15

⁷Then I heard a voice say to me, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat!”

⁸I said, “Not so, Lord; for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.”

⁹But the voice answered again from heaven, “What God has declared clean, do not call unclean.”

¹⁰This happened three times, and then everything was taken back up into heaven again.

¹¹Behold, right away there were three men standing in front of the house where we were; they had been sent from Caesarea to me.

¹²The Spirit commanded me to go with them, and that I should make no distinction regarding them. These six brothers went with me, and we went into the man's house.

¹³He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying, “Send men to Joppa and bring back Simon who is called Peter.

¹⁴He will speak to you a message by which you will be saved—you and all your household.”

¹⁵As I began to speak to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, just as on us in the beginning.
