Acts 10:9-18

9And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

10And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him:

11and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, [bound] by [the] four corners [and] let down to the earth;

12in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven.

13And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.

14And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.

15And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, What 1God has cleansed, do not thou make common.

16And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.

17And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

18and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.
