Context of Acts 11:10

8“But I answered, ‘I can’t do that, Lord! I’ve never put anything impure or unclean into my mouth.’ 9“A voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Don’t say that the things which God has made clean are impure.’ This happened three times. Then everything was pulled back into the sky again. 11“At that moment three men arrived at the house where we were staying. They had been sent from Caesarea to find me. 12The Spirit told me to go with them without any hesitation. Six believers ⌞from Joppa⌟ went with me, and we visited Cornelius’ home.
