Acts 10:9-16

21st Century King James Version

⁹ On the morrow, as they went on their journey and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour.

¹⁰ And he became very hungry and would have eaten; but while they were making ready he fell into a trance,

¹¹ and saw heaven opened and a certain vessel descending unto him as though it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners and let down to the earth,

¹² wherein were all kinds of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and fowls of the air.

¹³ And there came a voice to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

¹⁴ But Peter said, “Not so, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”

¹⁵ And the voice spoke unto him again the second time, “What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.”

¹⁶ This was done thrice, and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
