Context of Acts 11:10

8“But I said, ‘Certainly not, Lord! For never has anything unholy or unclean entered my mouth.’ 9But a voice from heaven answered a second time, ‘What God has made clean, you must not consider unholy.’ This happened three times, and then everything was pulled up to heaven. 11“At that very moment, three men arrived at the house where we were, sent to me from Caesarea. 12The Ruach told me to go with them without hesitating. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.
