Acts 10:9-15

New King James Version

Peter’s Vision

⁹ The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, ^(A)Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about ^[a]the sixth hour. ¹⁰ Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance ¹¹ and ^(B)saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. ¹² In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. ¹³ And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

¹⁴ But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! ^(C)For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”

¹⁵ And a voice spoke to him again the second time, ^(D)“What God has ^[b]cleansed you must not call common.”
