1 And the apostles and brethren, those being in Judea, heard that the nations also received the word of God. 2 And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision discussed with him, 3 Saying, That thou camest in to men having uncircumcision, and didst eat With them. 4 And Peter having begun, set forth to them in order, saying, 5 I was in the city Joppa, praying: and in a deep trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descending as a great linen napkin, let down from heaven by four beginnings; and it came even to me: 6 Upon which having looked intently, I observed, and saw quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the flying things of heaven. 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, kill and eat. 8 And I said, By no means, Lord: for anything common or unclean never came into my month. 9 And a voice answered me of a second time from heaven, What God cleansed, profane not. 10 And this was for thrice: and again all was drawn up into heaven. 11 And, behold, from this three men stood at the house in which I was, sent from Cesarea to me. 12 And the spirit said to me to come with them, discussing nothing. And these six brethren came also with me, and we came to the man's house: Acts 11:1-12, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
