Acts 10:7-18

LITV(i) 7 And when the angel speaking to Cornelius went away, calling two of his servants and a devout soldier of those continually waiting on him, 8 and having explained all things to them, he sent them to Joppa. 9 And on the morrow, these passing along on the road, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray about the sixth hour. 10 And he became hungry and wished to taste food . But as they were preparing, an ecstasy fell on him. 11 And he saw the heaven being opened and a certain vessel like a great sheet coming down on him, being bound by four corners, and let down onto the earth; 12 in which were all the four-footed animals of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the heaven. 13 And a voice came to him, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not at all, Lord, because I never did eat anything common or unclean. 15 And again a voice came to him a second time, What things God made clean, you do not make common. 16 And this happened three times, and the vessel was taken up into the heaven again. 17 And as Peter was doubting within himself what the vision which he saw might be, even behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius stood on the porch asking out the house of Simon. 18 And calling out, they inquired if Simon being surnamed Peter is lodged here.
