1 Now the apostles and the brothers being in Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision began contending with him, 3 saying, “You went to men having uncircumcision and ate with them.” 4 Now Peter, having begun, set it forth to them in order, saying, 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel like a great sheet descending, being let down out of heaven by four corners, and it came as far as me. 6 Having looked intently on it, I was observing it, and I saw the quadrupeds of the earth and the wild beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air. 7 And also I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Having risen up, Peter, kill and eat.’ 8 But I said, ‘In no way, Lord, for never has a common or unclean thing entered into my mouth.’ 9 But for a second time the voice answered out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you do not call common.’ Acts 11:1-9, Berean Literal Bible.
