"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,
6
on which, when I had looked intently, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
7
I also heard a voice saying to me, `Rise, Peter, kill and eat!`
8
But I said, `Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.`
9
But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, `What God has cleansed, don`t you make unholy.`
10
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11
Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12
The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man`s house.
