Acts 11:5-12

MNT(i) 5 "I was in the city of Joppa, praying, and while in a trance I saw a vision; a certain vessel descending, what seemed to be an enormous sail let down to me, 6 and while I gazed at it, I examined it carefully, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth and the wild beasts and creeping things and the wild birds. 7 I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.' 8 "'Not so, my Lord' said I, 'for nothing common or unclean has ever gone into my mouth.' 9 "But for the second time a voice spoke from the sky, 'What God has cleansed, you must not call common.' 10 "This was said three times, and then everything was drawn up again into the sky. 11 "And lo! at that very moment, three men who had been sent for me from Caesarea stood before the house in which I was. 12 "And the Spirit bade me accompany them without misgiving. There also accompanied me these six brothers, and we went into the man's house.
