New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
5
I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object coming down like a great sheet lowered by four corners from the sky; and it came to where I
was,
6
and I stared at it and was thinking about it, and I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild animals, the crawling creatures, and the birds of the sky.
7
I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter; kill and eat.’
8
But I said, ‘By no means, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
9
But a voice from heaven answered a second time, ‘What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.’
10
This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into the sky.
11
And behold, at that moment three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea came up to the house where we were
staying.
12
And the Spirit told me to go with them without misgivings. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.
King James Version
Chapter 11
5
I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
6
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
7
And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8
But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9
But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10
And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11
And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
12
And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
5
"I was in the town of Joppa praying, and I saw, in a trance, an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners from heaven, and it came to me.
6
When I looked closely and considered it, I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.
7
I also heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter; kill and eat.’
8
"‘No, Lord!’ I said. ‘For nothing impure or ritually unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
9
But a voice answered from heaven a second time, ‘What God has made clean, you must not call impure.’
10
"Now this happened three times, and everything was drawn up again into heaven.
11
At that very moment, three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea arrived at the house where we were.
12
The Spirit told me to accompany them with no doubts at all. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we went into the man’s house.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
5
I was in the town of Joppa,' he said, 'and while I was praying, I went into a trance and saw a vision. Something like a large sheet was let down by its four corners from the sky. And it came right down to me.
6
When I looked inside the sheet, I saw all sorts of tame and wild animals, reptiles, and birds.
7
And I heard a voice say, ‘Get up, Peter; kill and eat them.’
8
‘No, Lord,’ I replied. ‘I have never eaten anything that our Jewish laws have declared impure or unclean. ’
9
But the voice from heaven spoke again: ‘Do not call something unclean if God has made it clean.’
10
This happened three times before the sheet and all it contained was pulled back up to heaven.
11
Just then three men who had been sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where we were staying.
12
The Holy Spirit told me to go with them and not to worry that they were Gentiles. These six brothers here accompanied me, and we soon entered the home of the man who had sent for us.

5
"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me.
6
Looking at it closely, I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air.
7
And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’
8
But I said, ‘By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
9
But the voice answered a second time from heaven, ‘What God has made clean, do not call common.’
10
This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven.
11
And behold, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea.
12
And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man 's house.

At that very moment, three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
12
Then the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man’s house.
