Context of Acts 11:10

8But I answered, “No, Lord, I would certainly not do that. I have never eaten an animal that our Law says is unclean.” 9Then the voice spoke to me from heaven again. It said, “God has made these animals good for people to eat. So you must not say that it is not right to eat them.” All this happened three times. After that, the cloth went back up into heaven again. 11At that moment, three men from Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying. Someone had sent these men to find me. 12The Holy Spirit told me that I should go with them. He said that I should not be afraid. These six believers from Joppa also went with me to Caesarea. We all went into Cornelius's house.
