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 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 4crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062, and the birdsG4071 of the skyG3772.

7I alsoG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me, ‘GetG450 upG450, PeterG4074; 5killG2380 and eatG2068.’

8But I saidG3004, ‘ByG3365 noG3365 meansG3365, LordG2962, for nothingG3763 6unholyG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169 has everG3763 enteredG1525 my mouthG4750.’

9But a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772 answeredG611 a secondG1208 timeG1208, ‘7WhatG3739 GodG2316 has cleansedG2511, noG3361 longer 8considerG2840 unholyG2839.’
