10and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance,
11and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth,
12in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven,
13and there came a voice unto him: `Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.`
14And Peter said, `Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;`
15and [there is] a voice again a second time unto him: `What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;`
16and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven.
