9. On the next day, as they went on their journey, and drew near unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10. And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11. And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet held at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12. In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13. And there came a voice to him,
14. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.
15. And the voice spoke unto him again the second time,
16. This was done three times: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
