Acts 10:11-15
New American Standard Bible
11 and he *saw (A)the sky opened up, and an [a]object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, 12 and on it were all kinds of four-footed animals and [b]crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the sky. 13 A voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, [c]kill and eat!” 14 But Peter said, “By no means, (B)Lord, for (C)I have never eaten anything [d]unholy and unclean.” 15 Again a voice came to him a second time, “(D)What God has cleansed, no longer [e]consider unholy.”

New International Version
11 He saw heaven opened(A) and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14 “Surely not, Lord!”(B) Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”(C)
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”(D)
