4 Peter began explaining it to them in order, saying,
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying. And in a trance I saw a vision: A vessel like a great sheet was descending, let down from heaven by four corners, and it came to me.
6 I considered what I had observed and saw four-footed creatures and wild beasts and reptiles and birds of the air.
7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’
8 “I said, ‘Not at all, Lord. For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’
9 “The voice answered from heaven a second time, ‘What God has cleansed, do not call common.’
10 This happened three times. And again everything was taken up into heaven.
