Acts 11:1-9 ▼

1 And the Apostles and the brethren that were thorowout Iewry harde saye that the hethen had also receaved the worde of God.

2 And when Peter was come vp to Ierusalem they of the circumcision reasoned wyth him

3 sayinge: Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised and atest with them.

4 Then Peter began and expounded ye thinge in order to the sayinge:

5 I was in the cyte of Ioppa prayinge and in a traunce I sawe a vision a certen vessell descende as it had bene a large lynnyn clothe let doune from hevin by the fower corners and it cam to me.

6 Into the which when I had fastened myn eyes I consydered and sawe fowerfoted beastes of ye erth and vermen and wormes and foules of the ayer.

7 And I herde a voyce sayinge vnto me: aryse Peter sley and eate.

8 And I sayd: God forbyd lorde for nothinge comen or vnclene hath at eny tyme entred into my mouth.

9 But the voyce answered me agayne from heven cout not thou those thinges come which god hath clensed.
