Acts 10:11-21

11 And saw heaven opened , and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12 Wherein * were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise , Peter; kill , and eat .

14 But Peter said , Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed , that call not thou common .

16 This was done thrice * : and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean * , behold * , the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

18 And called , and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold , three men seek thee.

20 Arise therefore, and get thee down , and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said , Behold , I am he whom ye seek : what is the cause wherefore ye are come ?
