MLV(i)
9 Now on the next-day, while those men are traveling and drawing near to the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, around the sixth hour.
10 Now he became very hungry and wished to eat, but when those men were preparing the food, a trance fell upon him.
11 And he views the heaven having opened and a certain vessel coming down, like a great sheet having been bound and being dropped down by four edges upon the earth;
12 in which were all kinds of four footed mammals and beasts and reptiles of the earth and birds of the heaven.
13 And there came a voice to him, Sacrifice and eat when you stand up Peter.
14 But Peter said, Not-so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything, common or unclean.
15 And a voice came to him again the second-time, What God has cleansed, you, do not make common. 16 But this happened three-times and again the vessel was received up into heaven.
17 Now as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might be. And behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood at the gate, 18 and having summoned them, they were inquiring if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, is lodged here.
