Acts 10:9-16 ▼

9 On the morowe as they went on their iourney, and drewe nye vnto the citie, Peter went vp vnto the highest part of the house to pray, about the sixth houre.

10 And whe he waxed hungry, he would haue eaten: But whyle they made redie, he fell into a traunce.

11 And saw heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had ben a great sheete, knyt at the foure corners, & was let downe to the earth.

12 Wherin were all maner of fourefooted beastes of the earth, & wilde beastes, and wormes, and foules of the ayre.

13 And there came a voyce to hym: ryse Peter, kyll and eate.

14 But Peter sayde, Not so Lorde: For I haue neuer eaten any thyng that is common or vncleane.

15 And the voyce spake vnto hym againe the seconde tyme: What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

16 This was done thryse, and the vessell was receaued vp agayne into heauen.
