Contextual Overview

1 And the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the nations also received the Word of God. 2 And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him, 3 saying, You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them. 4 But beginning, Peter set out to them in order, saying, 5 I was being in the city of Joppa, praying. And in an ecstasy, I saw a vision: a certain vessel was coming down, like a huge sheet, being let down by four corners out of the heaven; and it came as far as me. 6 Looking intently on this , I observed. And I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the heaven. 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, Peter, rise up, slay and eat. 8 But I said, Not at all, Lord, because never has anything common or unclean entered into my mouth. 9 But a voice answered me the second time out of the heaven, What God has cleansed, you do not make common. 10 And this took place three times , and all things were pulled up into the heaven again.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And this was done three times,.... That is, the voice from heaven answered three times, and encouraged Peter to kill and eat; and so the Ethiopic version renders it, "and he likewise said unto me the third time"; the words as before:

and all were drawn up again into heaven; the sheet with all the creatures upon it, by the same hands that let it down; the Syriac version renders it, "and all betook themselves to heaven"; as if it all went up to heaven of itself; and the Ethiopic version, "and the whole returned again to heaven"; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See Acts 10:9-33.
