Acts 11:1-10

1NowG1161 the apostlesG652 and the brethren that wereG1510 in Judæa heardG191 that the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of GodG2316.

2And whenG3753 PeterG4074 was comeG305 up to JerusalemG2419, they that were of the circumcisionG4061 contended with him,

3sayingG3004, Thou wentest in to menG435 uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

4But PeterG4074 beganG757, and expounded the matter unto them in order, sayingG3004,

5I wasG1510 in the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336: and in a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 a visionG3705, a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597, as it wereG1510 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 let down from heavenG3772 by fourG5064 cornersG746; and it cameG2064 evenG2532 unto me:

6upon which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawG3708 the fourfooted beastsG2342 of the earthG1093 and wildG2342 beastsG2342 and creeping thingsG3739 and birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772.

7And I heardG191 alsoG2532 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto me, RiseG450, PeterG4074; killG2380 and eatG2068.

8But I saidG3004, Not so, LordG2962: for nothing commonG2839 or uncleanG169 hath ever enteredG1525 into my mouthG4750.

9But a voiceG5456 answeredG611 the secondG1208 timeG1208 out of heavenG3772, What GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, make not thou common.

10And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up againG3825 into heavenG3772.
