In Context

4 But Peter began and set forth the matter to them in order, saying,

5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:

6 on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.

7 And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.

8 And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.

9 And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
