Acts 11:4-12

4ButG1161 PeterG4074 beganG756 and explainedG1620 to themG846 the whole sequence of eventsG2517: 5“IG1473 wasG1510 inG1722 the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336, andG2532 inG1722 a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 a visionG3705 of somethingG5100G4632 likeG5613 a largeG3173 sheetG3607 being let downG2597G2524 fromG1537 heavenG3772 by its fourG5064 cornersG746, andG2532 it came right down toG2064G891 meG1473. 6I lookedG816 atG1519 it closelyG3739 and sawG2657G2532G3708 four-footed animalsG5074 of theG3588 earthG1093, wild beastsG2342, reptilesG2062, andG2532 birdsG4071 of theG3588 airG3772. 7ThenG1161G2532 I heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to meG1473, ‘Get upG450, PeterG4074, killG2380 andG2532 eatG5315.’

8‘NoG3365, LordG2962,’ I saidG2036, ‘forG3754 nothingG3763 impureG28391 orG2228 uncleanG169 has ever enteredG1525G1519 myG1473 mouthG4750.’

9ButG1161 the voiceG5456 spokeG611 fromG1537 heavenG3772 a secondG1208 time, ‘Do not call anything impureG3361G2840 thatG3739 GodG2316 has made cleanG2511.’

ThisG3778 happenedG1096 three timesG5151, andG2532 everythingG537 was drawn back upG385G3825 intoG1519 heavenG3772.

Just thenG2400G1824 threeG5140 menG435 sentG649 toG4314 meG1473 fromG575 CaesareaG2542 stoppedG2186 atG1909 theG3588 houseG3614 where I wasG1510 staying. 12TheG3588 SpiritG4151 toldG2036 meG1473 to accompanyG4905 themG846 withoutG3367 hesitationG1252. TheseG3778 sixG1803 brothersG80 alsoG2532 wentG2064 withG4862 meG1473, andG2532 we enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 man’sG435 homeG3624.
