Acts 10:9-16

Revised Standard Version RSV

9 The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

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

11 and saw the heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by 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, "No, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."

15 And the voice came to him again a second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call common."

16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

New International Version NIV

9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds.

13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
