Deeds (Act) of Apostles 10:9-19

⁹And on the day pursuing, while they made journey, and nighed to the city, Peter went up into the highest place of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

¹⁰And when he was hungered, he would have eaten. But while they made ready, a ravishing of the spirit or an excess of soul felled on him;

¹¹and he saw heaven opened, and a vessel coming down, as a great sheet with four corners or with four cords, to be let down from heaven into earth,

¹²in which were all four-footed beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and volatiles of heaven, either of the air.

¹³And a voice was made to him, Rise thou, Peter, and slay, and eat.

¹⁴And Peter said, Lord, forbid it, for I never eat any common thing, and unclean.

¹⁵And again the second time the voice was made to him, That thing that God hath cleansed, say thou not unclean.

¹⁶And this thing was done by thrice; and anon the vessel was received again into heaven.

¹⁷And while that Peter doubted within himself, what the vision was that he saw, lo! the men, that were sent from Cornelius, sought the house of Simon, and stood at the gate.

¹⁸And when they had called, they asked if Simon, that is named Peter, had there harbour.

¹⁹And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men seek thee.
