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.' <sup>8</sup> "`On no account, Lord,' I replied, `for nothing unholy or impure has ever gone into my mouth.' <sup>9</sup> "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.

And I heard a voice saying unto me,.... As he apprehended in his mind; and this voice he heard in the same sense and manner, as the Apostle Paul heard when in a trance, Acts 22:17.

arise, Peter, slay and eat; that is, get up and slay some of these creatures upon the sheet, and dress them and eat them.
