Acts 10:9-16

Tree of Life Version

Peter’s Vision

⁹ The next day, as the soldiers were traveling and approaching the city, Peter went up to the rooftop to pray, at about the sixth hour. ^{[a] 10} Now he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were preparing something, he fell into a trance. ¹¹ He saw the heavens opened, and something^[b] like a great sheet coming down, lowered by its four corners to the earth. ¹² In it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles and birds of the air.

¹³ A voice came to him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

¹⁴ But Peter said, “Certainly not, Lord! For never have I eaten anything unholy or unclean.”^[c]

¹⁵ Again a voice came to him, a second time: “What God has made clean, you must not consider unholy.” ¹⁶ This happened three times, and the sheet was immediately taken up to heaven.
