Contextual Overview
1 The apostles and the believers in Judea heard that non-Jewish people had accepted God's teaching too. 2 But when Peter came to Jerusalem, some Jewish believers argued with him. 3 They said, "You went into the homes of people who are not Jews and are not circumcised, and you even ate with them!" 4 So Peter explained the whole story to them. 5 He said, "I was in the city of Joppa. While I was praying, I had a vision. I saw something coming down from heaven. It looked like a big sheet being lowered to the ground by its four corners. It came down close to me, 6 and I looked inside. I saw all kinds of animals, including wild ones, as well as reptiles and birds. 7 I heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill anything here and eat it!' 8 "But I said, ‘I can't do that, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is not pure or fit to be used for food.' 9 "But the voice from heaven answered again, ‘God has made these things pure. Don't say they are unfit to eat!' 10 "This happened three times. Then the whole thing was taken back into heaven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes,.... Not of his body, but of his mind; for this was only in vision presented to him, when he was as Paul was, not knowing whether in the body or out of it:
I considered: being intent upon this object, he considered in his mind what it was, and what it should mean; it being something strange and unusual; which came down from heaven, and out of it, and came so close and near to him, that it engrossed all his thoughts, and was the subject of deep meditation:
and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air; not pourtrayed upon the sheet, but standing or walking upon it; the Syriac Version leaves out, "the wild beasts"; and the Ethiopic versions, "the creeping things"; but both are in the Greek copies, and in other versions.
