10 He became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing the meal, a trance came over him.
11 He saw heaven opened and an object something like a large sheet descending, being let down to earth by its four corners.
12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth and wild birds.
13 Then a voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; slaughter and eat!”
14 But Peter said, “Certainly not, Lord, for I have never eaten anything defiled and ritually unclean!”
15 The voice spoke to him again, a second time, “What God has made clean, you must not consider ritually unclean!”
16 This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven.
