Contextual Overview

¹ Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard, that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. ² And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision debated with him, saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, ³ and didst eat with them. ⁴ Then Peter beginning, laid all things before them in order, saying, I was praying in the city of Joppa, ⁵ and being in a trance, I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down from heaven by the four corners, and it came even to me: ⁶ On which looking stedfastly, I observed and saw four-footed creatures of the earth, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. ⁷ And I heard a voice saying to me, Rise Peter, kill and eat. ⁸ But I said, In no wise, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth. ⁹ And the voice from heaven answered me again, What God hath purified, call not thou common. ¹⁰ This was done thrice, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
