Acts 10:9-16

New Life Version

Peter’s Dream

⁹ The next day they went on their way. About noon they were coming near the town. At this time Peter went up on the roof to pray. ¹⁰ He became very hungry and wanted something to eat. While they were getting food ready to eat, he saw in a dream things God wanted him to see. ¹¹ He saw heaven open up and something like a large linen cloth being let down to earth by the four corners. ¹² On the cloth were all kinds of four-footed animals and snakes of the earth and birds of the sky. ¹³ A voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, kill something and eat it.” ¹⁴ Peter said, “No, Lord! I have never eaten anything that our Law says is unclean.” ¹⁵ The voice said the second time, “What God has made clean you must not say is unclean.” ¹⁶ This happened three times. Then it was taken back to heaven.
