New Testament

Acts 11:3-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. saying, “You went in and ate with uncircumcised men!”

4. Peter began explaining it to them in order, saying,

5. “I was in the city of Joppa praying. And in a trance I saw a vision: A vessel like a great sheet was descending, let down from heaven by four corners, and it came to me.

6. I considered what I had observed and saw four-footed creatures and wild beasts and reptiles and birds of the air.

7. Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’

8. “I said, ‘Not at all, Lord. For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’

9. “The voice answered from heaven a second time, ‘What God has cleansed, do not call common.’

10. This happened three times. And again everything was taken up into heaven.

11. “And immediately three men sent from Caesarea to me came to the house where I was.

12. The Spirit told me to go with them without hesitation. Moreover these six brothers came with me, and we entered the man’s house.

13. He told us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter.

14. He will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’
