8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Now on the next day, as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, at about noon.
10 He became hungry, and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 He saw heaven opened, and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet, let down by four corners on the earth,
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13 A voice came to him, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat!"
14 But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."
