Acts 11:5-9

5“1I was in the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336; and in a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 2a visionG3705, an 3objectG4632 comingG2597 downG2597 likeG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 loweredG2524 by fourG5064 cornersG746 from 4the skyG3772; and it cameG2064 rightG891 down to me,

6and when I had fixedG816 my gazeG816 on it and was observingG2657 it 5I sawG3708 the four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 of the earthG1093 and the wildG2342 beastsG2342 and the 6crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062 and the birdsG4071 of the 7airG3772.

7I alsoG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me, ‘GetG450 up, PeterG4074; 8killG2380 and eatG2068.’

8But I saidG3004, ‘By noG3365 meansG3365, LordG2962, for nothingG3763 9unholyG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169 has everG3763 enteredG1525 my mouthG4750.’

9But a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772 answeredG611 a secondG1208 timeG1208, ‘10WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer 11considerG2840 unholyG2839.’
