Acts 10:9. And the next day, as those traveling were nearing the city, about the sixth hour Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10. And he became very hungry and was wanting to eat. And while they were preparing a meal, a trance came over him 11. and he saw heaven opening and something lowering, like a great sheet, being let down by four corners upon the ground, 12. in which were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth and birds of the sky. 13. And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, you must right now kill and eat.” 14. But Peter said, “Certainly not, Lord, because I never ate anything defiled or unclean.” (Ezek. 4:14) 15. And again a second time a voice said to him, “What God has cleansed, you must not declare unclean.” 16. And this happened three times, and then the object was immediately taken up into the sky.
