Acts 11:5-10

5“I was in the town of Joppa praying, and I saw, in a trance, an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners from heaven, and it came to me.

6When I looked closely and considered it, I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.

7I also heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter; kill and eat.’

8“‘No, Lord! ’ I said. ‘For nothing impure or ritually unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

9But a voice answered from heaven a second time, ‘What God has made clean, you must not call impure.’

10“Now this happened three times, and everything was drawn up again into heaven.
