Acts 10:10–18
10He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.↗
11He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,↗
12in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.↗
13A voice came to him,“Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”↗
14But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”↗
15A voice came to him again the second time,“What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”↗
16This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.↗
17Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,↗
18and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.↗
