Contextual Overview
1 Now the Apostles, and the brethren in various parts of Judaea, heard that the Gentiles also had received God's Message; 2 and, when Peter returned to Jerusalem, the champions of circumcision found fault with him. 3 "You went into the houses of men who are not Jews," they said, "and you ate with them." 4 Peter, however, explained the whole matter to them from the beginning. 5 "While I was in the town of Jaffa, offering prayer," he said, "in a trance I saw a vision. There descended what seemed to be an enormous sail, being let down from the sky by ropes at the four corners, and it came close to me. 6 Fixing my eyes on it, I examined it closely, and saw various kinds of quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. 7 I also heard a voice saying to me, "`Rise, Peter, kill and eat.' 8 "`On no account, Lord,' I replied, `for nothing unholy or impure has ever gone into my mouth.' 9 "But a voice answered, speaking a second time from the sky, "`What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy.' 10 "This was said three times, and then everything was drawn up again out of sight.

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
See Acts 10:9-33.
