Atos 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.

Atos 11:6 In-Context

4 Pedro, então, começou a explicar-lhes exatamente como tudo havia acontecido:

5 “Eu estava na cidade de Jope, orando; caindo em êxtase, tive uma visão. Vi algo parecido com um grande lençol sendo baixado do céu, preso pelas quatro pontas, e que vinha até o lugar onde eu estava.

6 Olhei para dentro dele e notei que havia ali quadrúpedes da terra, animais selvagens, répteis e aves do céu.

7 Então ouvi uma voz que me dizia: ‘Levante-se, Pedro; mate e coma’.

8 “Eu respondi: De modo nenhum, Senhor! Nunca entrou em minha boca algo impuro ou imundo.
