Peter’s Vision

9 The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, ^bPeter went up ^con the housetop about ^dthe sixth hour ^{▼▼That is, noon} to pray. 10 And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into ^fa trance 11 and saw ^gthe heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; ^hfor I have never eaten anything that is ⁱcommon or ^junclean.” 15 And the voice came to him again a second time, ^k“What God has made clean, do not call common.” 16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

17 Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what ^lthe vision that he had seen might mean, behold, ^mthe men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood at the gate 18 and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.
