Acts 10:9-16

Legacy Standard Bible

⁹ And on the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, ^(A)Peter went up on ^(B)the housetop about ^(C)the ^[a]sixth hour to pray. ¹⁰ But he became hungry and was desiring to eat. And while they were making preparations, he ^(D)fell into a trance ¹¹ and *saw ^(E)heaven opened up, and ^[b]an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, ¹² and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the ^[c]sky. ¹³ And a voice came to him, “Rise up, Peter, ^[d]slaughter and eat!” ¹⁴ But Peter said, “By no means, ^(F)Lord, for ^(G)I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.” ¹⁵ Again a voice came to him a second time, “^(H)What God has cleansed, no longer consider defiled.” ¹⁶ And this happened three times and immediately the ^[e]object was taken up into heaven.
