5 I was in the city of Joppa praying and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel descending as a vast sheet let down from heaven by its four corners; and it came close to me: 6 on which looking attentively, I perceived, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the birds of the air. 7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter; slay and eat. 8 But I said, By no means, Lord: for never yet hath any thing common or unclean entered into my mouth. 9 But the voice replied the second time from heaven, What God hath cleansed, call not thou common. 10 Now this was repeated thrice: and the whole withdrawn again into heaven.
