Acts 11:7 web — I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat!'

But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'

But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, don't you call unclean.'

This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
