And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12
In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.
13
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15
And the voice [spoke] to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
16
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received again into heaven.
17
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and were standing before the gate,
18
And called, and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20
Arise therefore, and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
