Acts 10:10-16
10
He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11
He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
12
It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds.
13
Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14
“Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15
The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
16
This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
