Contextual Overview

9 On the morowe as they went on their iourney, and drewe nye vnto the citie, Peter went vp vnto the highest part of the house to pray, about the sixth houre. 10 And whe he waxed hungry, he would haue eaten: But whyle they made redie, he fell into a traunce. 11 And saw heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had ben a great sheete, knyt at the foure corners, & was let downe to the earth. 12 Wherin were all maner of fourefooted beastes of the earth, & wilde beastes, and wormes, and foules of the ayre. 13 And there came a voyce to hym: ryse Peter, kyll and eate. 14 But Peter sayde, Not so Lorde: For I haue neuer eaten any thyng that is common or vncleane. 15 And the voyce spake vnto hym againe the seconde tyme: What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16 This was done thryse, and the vessell was receaued vp agayne into heauen. 17 Nowe whyle Peter doubted in hym selfe, what this vision whiche he hadde seene meant: beholde, the men whiche were sent from Cornelius, had made inquiraunce for Simons house, & stoode before the doore, 18 And called, and asked whether Simo which was sirnamed Peter, were lodged there.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This was done thrice,.... That is, either the voice spoke the same words three times, or the sheet was let down three times; and it may be both; it may be, that every time the voice was spoke, the sheet was let down: this was done, not with respect to any mystical meaning in the number three, but for the confirmation of Peter, that he might be the more firmly assured of the truth of the things represented unto him:

and the vessel was received up again into heaven; to denote, that when the general assembly and church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven, whether Jews or Gentiles, are all gathered in, by the preaching of the Gospel to them, they will be taken up to heaven, their original and native place, and be for ever with the Lord; as well as to certify to Peter, that what was now shown him on earth, concerning the taking away the distinction of men and meats, was ratified in heaven.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This was done thrice - Three times, doubtless to impress the mind of Peter with the certainty and importance of the vision. Compare Genesis 41:32.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 10:16. This was done thrice — For the greater certainty, and to make the deeper impression on the apostle's mind.

And the vessel was received up again into heaven. — Both Jews and Gentiles came equally from God; and to him, both, by the preaching of the Gospel, shall again return.
