4. But Peter began and explained it to them in order:
5. “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me.
6. Looking at it closely, I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air.
7. And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’
8. But I said, ‘By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
9. But the voice answered a second time from heaven, ‘What God has made clean, do not call common.’
