11. And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
12. Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
13. And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
14. But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
15. And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
