Acts 11:5-14

5 ^a“I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw ^ba vision, an ^{▼▼ Or vessel}object coming down like a great sheet lowered by four corners from ^{▼▼ Or heaven}the sky; and it came right down to me, 6 and when I had fixed my gaze on it and was observing it ^{▼▼ Lit and I saw}I saw the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild beasts and the ^{▼▼ Or reptiles}crawling creatures and the birds of the ^{▼▼ Or heaven}air. 7 “I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter; ^{▼▼ Or sacrifice}kill and eat.’ 8 “But I said, ‘By no means, Lord, for nothing ^{▼▼ Or profane; lit common}unholy or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’ 9 “But a voice from heaven answered a second time, ‘ ^jWhat God has cleansed, no longer ^{▼▼ Lit make common}consider unholy.’ 10 “This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into ^{▼▼ Or heaven}the sky. 11 “And behold, at that moment three men appeared at the house in which we were staying, having been sent to me from ^mCaesarea. 12 ⁿ“The Spirit told me to go with them ^{▼▼ Or without making any distinction
,} ^pwithout misgivings. ^qThese six brethren also went with me and we entered the man’s house. 13 “And he reported to us how he had seen the angel ^{▼▼ Or after he had stood in his house and said}standing in his house, and saying, ‘Send to Joppa and have Simon, who is also called Peter, brought here; 14 and he will speak ^swords to you by which you will be saved, you and ^tall your household.’
