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.

4 Entonces comenzando Pedro, les declaró por orden lo pasado, diciendo

5 Estaba yo en la ciudad de Jope orando, y vi en rapto de entendimiento una visión: un vaso, como un gran lienzo, que descendía, que por los cuatro cabos era bajado del cielo, y venía hasta mí

6 En el cual cuando puse los ojos, consideré y vi animales terrestres de cuatro pies, y bestias fieras, y reptiles, y aves del cielo

7 Y oí una voz que me decía: Levántate, Pedro, mata y come

8 Y dije: Señor, no; porque ninguna cosa común o inmunda entró jamás en mi boca
