Acts 11:4-12

4But Peter began and explained it to them in order:

5"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me.

6Looking at it closely, I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air.

7And I heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'

8But I said, 'By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'

9But the voice answered a second time from heaven, 'What God has made clean, do not call common.'

10This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven.

11And behold, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea.

12And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.
