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.
