Acts 10:10-15

10 But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he ¹fell into a trance;

11 and he saw ²the 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, ³Lord, for ⁴I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean."

15 Again a voice came to him a second time, "⁵What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy."
