6 I looked inside it. I saw animals, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds.
7 I heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
8 But I said, ‘No, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is unholy or unclean.’
9 But the voice from heaven answered again, ‘God has made these things clean. Don’t call them unholy!’
10 This happened three times. Then the whole thing was taken back to heaven.
11 Right then three men came to the house where I was staying. They were sent to me from Caesarea.
12 The Spirit told me to go with them without doubting. These six believers here also went with me. We went to the house of Cornelius.
