Acts 11:5-10 ▼

5 |I was in the town of Joppa praying when in a trance I saw a vision: Something like a large linen sheet descended down from heaven, lowered by its four corners, and it came right down to me.

6 When I examined it closely, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the air.

7 I also heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter! Kill something and eat it.'

8 But I replied, 'Absolutely not, Lord, for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth!'

9 Then the voice from heaven answered a second time, 'You must stop calling common what God has made clean!'

10 This happened three times. Then everything was pulled back up to heaven.
