3. They said, “You went into the homes of people who are not Jews and are not circumcised! You even ate with them!”
4. So Peter explained the whole story to them.
5. He said, “I was in the city of Joppa. While I was praying, I had a vision. In the vision, I saw something which looked like a big sheet coming down from heaven. It was being lowered to earth by its four corners. It came down very close to me, and
6. I looked inside it. I saw animals, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds.
7. I heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
8. But I said, ‘No, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is unholy or unclean.’
9. But the voice from heaven answered again, ‘God has made these things clean. Don’t call them unholy!’
10. This happened three times. Then the whole thing was taken back to heaven.
