Acts 11:5-14 As I was in Joppa, praying, I saw in vision, that a certain vessel descended, which was like a sheet, and it was tied at its four corners; and it descended from heaven and came to me.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ As I was in Joppa, praying, I saw in vision, that a certain vessel descended, which was like a sheet, and it was tied at its four corners; and it descended from heaven and came to me. ⁶ And I looked upon it, and I saw that in it were fourfooted animals, and reptiles of the earth, and fowls of heaven. ⁷ And I heard a voice, which said to me: Simon, arise slay and eat. ⁸ And I said: Far be it, my Lord. For never hath any thing polluted or unclean entered my mouth. ⁹ And again, a voice from heaven said to me: What God hath cleansed, make thou not unclean. ¹⁰ And this was done three times: and the whole was taken up to heaven. ¹¹ And at the same instant, three men, who were sent to me by Cornelius from Caesarea, came and stood at the gate of the court where I lodged. ¹² And the Spirit said to me: Go with them, without hesitation. And these six brethren went also with me, and we entered the man's house. ¹³ And he related to us, how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him: Send to the city of Joppa, and bring Simon who is called Cephas; ¹⁴ and he will utter to thee discourses, by which thou wilt live, thou and all thy house.
