5. “I was in the city of Joppa praying. And in a trance I saw a vision: A vessel like a great sheet was descending, let down from heaven by four corners, and it came to me.
6. I considered what I had observed and saw four-footed creatures and wild beasts and reptiles and birds of the air.
7. Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’
8. “I said, ‘Not at all, Lord. For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’
9. “The voice answered from heaven a second time, ‘What God has cleansed, do not call common.’
10. This happened three times. And again everything was taken up into heaven.
