New TestamentActsPeter’s Vision · 10:9–1610:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.10:16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
