Acts 10:10-20

English Standard Version

¹⁰ And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into ^(A)a trance ¹¹ and saw ^(B)the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. ¹² In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” ¹⁴ But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; ^(C)for I have never eaten anything that is ^(D)common or ^(E)unclean.” ¹⁵ And the voice came to him again a second time, ^(F)“What God has made clean, do not call common.” ¹⁶ This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

¹⁷ Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what ^(G)the vision that he had seen might mean, behold, ^(H)the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood at the gate ¹⁸ and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there. ¹⁹ And while Peter was pondering ^(I)the vision, ^(J)the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you. ²⁰ Rise and go down and ^(K)accompany them without hesitation,^[a] for I have sent them.”
