Acts 11:7 in context

  1. 5“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
  2. 6When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
  3. 7I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
  4. 8But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
  5. 9But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
