Acts 10:12-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. on which were all four-footed beasts, and the crawling things of the earth and the flying things of the air.

13. And a voice came to him: "Rise up, Peter! Kill and eat."

14. But Peter said: "Far be it from me, lord. For I have never eaten anything common or unclean."

15. And the voice, again a second time to him: "What God has purified, you shall not call common."

16. Now this was done three times. And immediately the container was taken up to heaven.

17. Now while Peter was still hesitant within himself as to what the vision, which he had seen, might mean, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius stood at the gate, inquiring about Simon's house.

18. And when they had called out, they asked if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, was a guest in that place.
