Hechos 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 11:6

Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes
Not of his body, but of his mind; for this was only in vision presented to him, when he was as Paul was, not knowing whether in the body or out of it:

I considered:
being intent upon this object, he considered in his mind what it was, and what it should mean; it being something strange and unusual; which came down from heaven, and out of it, and came so close and near to him, that it engrossed all his thoughts, and was the subject of deep meditation:

and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and
creeping things, and fowls of the air;
not pourtrayed upon the sheet, but standing or walking upon it; the Syriac Version leaves out, "the wild beasts"; and the Ethiopic versions, "the creeping things"; but both are in the Greek copies, and in other versions.

Hechos 11:6 In-Context

4 Entonces Pedro comenzó a explicarles en orden lo sucedido, diciendo:

5 Estaba yo en la ciudad de Jope orando, y vi en éxtasis una visión: un objeto semejante a un gran lienzo que descendía, bajado del cielo por las cuatro puntas, y vino hasta mí.

6 Cuando fijé mis ojos en él y lo observaba, vi cuadrúpedos terrestres, fieras, reptiles y aves del cielo.

7 También oí una voz que me decía: "Levántate Pedro, mata y come."

8 Pero yo dije: "De ninguna manera, Señor, porque nada impuro o inmundo ha entrado jamás en mi boca."
