5. He said, “I was in the city of Joppa, and while I was praying, I had a vision. I saw something that looked like a big sheet being lowered from heaven by its four corners. It came very close to me.
6. I looked inside it and saw animals, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds.
7. I heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
8. But I said, ‘No, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is unholy or unclean.’
9. But the voice from heaven spoke again, ‘God has made these things clean, so don’t call them unholy.’
