Acts 10:9-16

9On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, 1Peter went up on 2the housetop about 3the 4sixth hour to pray. 10But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he 5fell into a trance; 11and he saw 6the 7sky opened up, and an 8object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, 12and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and 9crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the 10air. 13A voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, 11kill and eat!” 14But Peter said, “By no means, 12Lord, for 13I have never eaten anything 14unholy and unclean.” 15Again a voice came to him a second time, “15What God has cleansed, no longer consider 16unholy.” 16This happened three times, and immediately the 17object was taken up into the 18sky.
