Acts 10:10-16

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