Contextual Overview
1 The missionaries and followers who were in the country of Judea heard that the people who were not Jews also had received the Word of God. 2 When Peter went up to Jerusalem, the Jewish followers argued with him. 3 They said, "Why did you visit those people who are not Jews and eat with them?" 4 Then Peter began to tell all that had happened from the beginning to the end. He said, 5 "While I was praying in the city of Joppa, I saw in a dream something coming down from heaven. It was like a large linen cloth let down by the four corners until it came to me. 6 As I looked at it, I saw four-footed animals and snakes of the earth and birds of the sky. 7 I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill something and eat it.' 8 But I said, ‘No, Lord! Nothing that is unclean has ever gone into my mouth.' 9 The voice from heaven said the second time, ‘What God has made clean you must not say is unclean.' 10 This happened three times and then it was taken up again to heaven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes,.... Not of his body, but of his mind; for this was only in vision presented to him, when he was as Paul was, not knowing whether in the body or out of it:
I considered: being intent upon this object, he considered in his mind what it was, and what it should mean; it being something strange and unusual; which came down from heaven, and out of it, and came so close and near to him, that it engrossed all his thoughts, and was the subject of deep meditation:
and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air; not pourtrayed upon the sheet, but standing or walking upon it; the Syriac Version leaves out, "the wild beasts"; and the Ethiopic versions, "the creeping things"; but both are in the Greek copies, and in other versions.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
