Acts 10:9-15
Contemporary English Version
9 (A) The next day about noon these men were coming near Joppa. Peter went up on the roof[a] of the house to pray 10 and became very hungry. While the food was being prepared, he fell sound asleep and had a vision. 11 He saw heaven open, and something came down like a huge sheet held up by its four corners. 12 In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles, and birds. 13 A voice said to him, “Peter, get up! Kill these and eat them.”
14 (B) But Peter said, “Lord, I can't do that! I've never eaten anything that is unclean and not fit to eat.”[b]
15 The voice spoke to him again, “When God says that something can be used for food, don't say it isn't fit to eat.”
