11. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
12. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds.
13. Then a voice told him, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
14. ‘Surely not, Lord!’ Peter replied. ‘I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.’
15. The voice spoke to him a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’
16. This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
