*
The next day ,
as they were on their journey and coming near the city ,
Peter went up on the housetop to pray ,
about the sixth hour .
*
And he became hungry and desired something to eat ;
but while they were preparing it ,
he fell into a trance
*
and saw the heaven opened ,
and something descending ,
like a great sheet ,
let down by four corners upon the earth .
*
In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air .
*
And there came a voice to him , "
Rise ,
Peter ;
kill and eat ."
*
But Peter said , "
No ,
Lord ;
for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean ."
*
And the voice came to him again a second time , "
What God has cleansed ,
you must not call common ."
*
This happened three times ,
and the thing was taken up at once to heaven .
*
Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean ,
behold ,
the men that were sent by Cornelius ,
having made inquiry for Simon '
s house ,
stood before the gate
*
and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there .
