Acts 10:9-18

ACV(i) 9 Now on the morrow, while those men were traveling and approaching the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 And he became very hungry and wanted to eat. But while those men prepared, a trance fell upon him. 11 And he sees heaven opened, and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet bound at four corners, and being lowered to the earth, 12 in which were all the four-footed things of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky. 13 And a voice came to him, After rising, Peter, kill and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything profane or unclean. 15 And a voice again for a second time, What God has cleansed, thou shall not make profane. 16 And this happened thrice, and again the vessel was taken up into heaven. 17 Now while Peter was bewildered in himself whatever the vision which he saw might be, that lo, the men who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired the house of Simon, stood at the gate. 18 And after calling out they asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodges here.
