2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him,
3 saying, “You entered the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them.”
4 Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying,
5 “I was at prayer in the city of Joppa when in a trance I had a vision, something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered from the sky by its four corners, and it came to me.
6 Looking intently into it, I observed and saw the four-legged animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.
7 I also heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.’
8 But I said, ‘Certainly not, sir, because nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
