1
And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;
2
and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,
3
saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.
4
But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,
5
I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:
6
on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.
7
And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.
