10 He became hungry and wanted to eat. While others were preparing the meal, he had a visionary experience.
11 He saw heaven opened up and something like a large linen sheet being lowered to the earth by its four corners.
12 Inside the sheet were all kinds of four-legged animals, reptiles, and wild birds.
13 A voice told him, "Get up, Peter! Kill and eat!"
14 Peter exclaimed, "Absolutely not, Lord! I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."
15 The voice spoke a second time, "Never consider unclean what God has made pure."
16 This happened three times, then the object was suddenly pulled back into heaven.
