5I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:
6And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.
7And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
8But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.
9But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
10And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.
11And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were.
