5. I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
6. Upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw four-footed animals of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air.
7. And I heard a voice saying unto me,
8. But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean has at any time entered into my mouth.
9. But the voice answered me again from heaven,
10. And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
