Contextual Overview
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had accepted the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision took issue with him, 3 saying, "You went to men who were uncircumcised and ate with them!" 4 But Peter began and explained it to them in an orderly sequence, saying, 5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision—an object something like a large sheet coming down, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came to me. 6 As I looked intently into it, I was considering it, and I saw the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild animals and the reptiles and the birds of the sky. 7 And I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!' 8 But I said, ‘Certainly not, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth!' 9 But the voice replied from heaven for the second time, ‘The things which God has made clean, you must not consider unclean!' 10 And this happened three times, and everything was pulled up into heaven again.
