Acts 10:7-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
7When the angel who *spoke to him left, he summoned two of his servants and a devout soldier from his personal attendants, 8and after he had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray.
10But he became hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance;
11and he *saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground,
12and on it were all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the sky.
13A voice came to him, 'Get up, Peter, kill and eat!'
14But Peter said, 'By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean.'
15Again a voice came to him a second time, 'What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.'
16This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky.
King James Version
Chapter 10
7And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; 8And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
9On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

7When the angel who spoke to him had gone, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier, who was one of those who attended him. 8After explaining everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9The next day, as they were traveling and nearing the city, Peter went up to pray on the roof about noon.
10He became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing something, he fell into a trance.
11He saw heaven opened and an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners to the earth.
12In it were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, and the birds of the sky.
13A voice said to him, "Get up, Peter; kill and eat."

7As soon as the angel was gone, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier, one of his personal attendants. 8He told them what had happened and sent them off to Joppa.
9The next day as Cornelius’s messengers were nearing the town, Peter went up on the flat roof to pray. It was about noon,
10and he was hungry. But while a meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11He saw the sky open, and something like a large sheet was let down by its four corners.
12In the sheet were all sorts of animals, reptiles, and birds.
13Then a voice said to him, 'Get up, Peter; kill and eat them.'
