Acts 11:4-12
4But PeterG4074 beganG757 and explainedG1620 at length to them 1inG2517 an orderlyG2517 sequenceG2517, sayingG3004,
5“2I was in the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336; and in a tranceG1611 I sawG3708 3a visionG3705, an 4objectG4632 comingG2597 downG2597 likeG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607 loweredG2524 by fourG5064 cornersG746 from the skyG3772; and it cameG2064 to whereG891 I was,
6and I staredG816 at it and was thinkingG2657 aboutG2657 it, and I sawG3708 the four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 of the earthG1093, the wildG2342 animalsG2342, the 5crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062, and the birdsG4071 of the skyG3772.
7I alsoG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me, ‘GetG450 upG450, PeterG4074; 6killG2380 and eatG2068.’
8But I saidG3004, ‘ByG3365 noG3365 meansG3365, LordG2962, for nothingG3763 7unholyG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169 has everG3763 enteredG1525 my mouthG4750.’
9But a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772 answeredG611 a secondG1208 timeG1208, ‘8WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer 9considerG2840 unholyG2839.’
10ThisG3778 happenedG1096 threeG5151 timesG5151, and everythingG537 was drawnG385 backG3825 upG385 into the skyG3772.
11And beholdG2400, at that momentG1824 threeG5140 menG435 who had been sentG649 to me from 10CaesareaG2542 cameG2186 upG2186 toG2186 the houseG3614 whereG3739 we were staying.
1211And the SpiritG4151 toldG3004 me to goG4905 with them 12withoutG3367 13misgivingsG1252. 14TheseG3778 sixG1803 brothersG80 alsoG2532 wentG2064 with me, and we enteredG1525 the man’sG435 houseG3624.
