PETER’S VISION

9 Thes next day, as they were traveling and nearing the city, Peter went up to pray on the rooft about noon.C 10 He became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing something, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven openedu and an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners to the earth. 12 In it were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, and the birds of the sky. 13 A voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat.”

14 “No, Lord!” Peter said. “For I have never eaten anything impure and ritually unclean.”v

15 Again, a second time, the voice said to him, “What God has made clean, do not call impure.”w
