Acts 10:6-16

6 he is staying with a tanner named ¹Simon, whose house is by the sea."

7 When the angel who was speaking to him had left, he summoned two of his servants and a devout soldier of those who were his personal attendants,

8 and after he had explained everything to them, he sent them to ²Joppa.

9 On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, ³Peter went up on ⁴the housetop about ⁵the sixth hour to pray.

10 But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he ⁶fell into a trance;

11 and he saw ⁷the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground,

12 and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air.

13 A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!"

14 But Peter said, "By no means, ⁸Lord, for ⁹I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean."

15 Again a voice came to him a second time, "¹⁰What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy."

16 This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky.
