Acts 10:9-15

Peter’s Vision

9 The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, ¹Peter went up ²on the housetop about ³the sixth hour^[a] to pray.

10 And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into ⁴a trance

11 and saw ⁵the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth.

12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air.

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

14 But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; ⁶for I have never eaten anything that is ⁷common or ⁸unclean. ”

15 And the voice came to him again a second time, ⁹“What God has made clean, do not call common. ”
