Acts 11:4-12
4But PeterG4074 beganG757 speaking 1and proceeded to explainG1620 to them 2in orderlyG2517 sequenceG2517, sayingG3004,
5“3I was in the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336; and in a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 4a visionG3705, an 5objectG4632 comingG2597 downG2597 likeG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 loweredG2524 by fourG5064 cornersG746 from 6the skyG3772; and it cameG2064 rightG891 down to me,
6and when I had fixedG816 my gazeG816 on it and was observingG2657 it 7I sawG3708 the four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 of the earthG1093 and the wildG2342 beastsG2342 and the 8crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062 and the birdsG4071 of the 9airG3772.
7I alsoG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me, ‘GetG450 up, PeterG4074; 10killG2380 and eatG2068.’
8But I saidG3004, ‘By noG3365 meansG3365, LordG2962, for nothingG3763 11unholyG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169 has everG3763 enteredG1525 my mouthG4750.’
9But a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772 answeredG611 a secondG1208 timeG1208, ‘12WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer 13considerG2840 unholyG2839.’
10ThisG3778 happenedG1096 threeG5151 timesG5151, and everythingG537 was drawnG385 backG3825 up into 14the skyG3772.
11And beholdG2400, at that momentG1824 threeG5140 menG435 appearedG2186 at the houseG3614 in whichG3739 we were staying, having been sentG649 to me from 15CaesareaG2542.
1216The SpiritG4151 toldG3004 me to goG4905 with them 1718withoutG3367 misgivingsG1252. 19TheseG3778 sixG1803 brethrenG80 alsoG2532 wentG2064 with me and we enteredG1525 the man’sG435 houseG3624.
