Acts 11:5–14

^5hI was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw ⁱa vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me: ⁶Upon the which when I had ^jfastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. ⁷And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat. ⁸But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth. ⁹But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. ¹⁰And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven. ¹¹And, behold, immediately there were three men ^kalready come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me. ¹²And the spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover ^lthese six ^abrethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house: ¹³And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; ¹⁴Who shall tell thee ^mwords, whereby thou and ⁿall thy house shall be saved.
