7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier, one of those who waited on him,
8 and having made known all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 And on the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and were drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house top to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 And he became very hungry, and desired to eat; but while they were making ready, he fell into a trance;
11 and he saw heaven opened, and some vessel, like a great sheet, descending, bound by the four corners, and let down to the earth.
12 In this were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him: Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
14 But Peter said: By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing common or unclean.
15 And the voice came to him again a second time: What God has cleansed, you must not call common.
16 This was done the third time; and the vessel was taken up again into heaven.
17 Now, while Peter was perplexed within himself about the meaning of the vision which he had seen, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood before the gate.
18 And they called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
