Contextual Overview
9 And the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about the sixth hour. 10 And he became hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were preparing the food, a trance came over him. 11 And he saw heaven opened and an object something like a large sheet coming down, being let down to the earth by its four corners, 12 in which were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth and birds of the sky. 13 And a voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!" 14 But Peter said, "Certainly not, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common and unclean!" 15 And the voice came again to him for the second time: "The things which God has made clean, you must not consider unclean!" 16 And this happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven. 17 Now while Peter was greatly perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having found the house of Simon by asking around, stood at the gate. 18 And they called out and asked if Simon who was also called Peter was staying there as a guest.

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.
