Contextual Overview
9 On the morrow as they went on their iourney, and drew nigh vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixth houre. 10 And he became very hungry, and would haue eaten: But while they made ready, he fell into a traunce, 11 And saw heauen opened, and a certaine vessell descending vnto him, as it had beene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and let downe to the earth: 12 Wherein were all maner of foure footed beasts of the earth, and wilde beasts, and creeping things, and foules of the ayre. 13 And there came a voyce to him, Rise, Peter: kill, and eate. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is common or vncleane. 15 And the voice spake vnto him againe the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16 This was done thrise: & the vessel was receiued vp againe into heauen. 17 Now while Peter doubted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, should meane: behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had made inquirie for Simons house, and stood before the gate, 18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was sirnamed Peter, were lodged there.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
This was done thrice,.... That is, either the voice spoke the same words three times, or the sheet was let down three times; and it may be both; it may be, that every time the voice was spoke, the sheet was let down: this was done, not with respect to any mystical meaning in the number three, but for the confirmation of Peter, that he might be the more firmly assured of the truth of the things represented unto him:
and the vessel was received up again into heaven; to denote, that when the general assembly and church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven, whether Jews or Gentiles, are all gathered in, by the preaching of the Gospel to them, they will be taken up to heaven, their original and native place, and be for ever with the Lord; as well as to certify to Peter, that what was now shown him on earth, concerning the taking away the distinction of men and meats, was ratified in heaven.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This was done thrice - Three times, doubtless to impress the mind of Peter with the certainty and importance of the vision. Compare Genesis 41:32.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 10:16. This was done thrice — For the greater certainty, and to make the deeper impression on the apostle's mind.
And the vessel was received up again into heaven. — Both Jews and Gentiles came equally from God; and to him, both, by the preaching of the Gospel, shall again return.
