44:010:009 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
44:010:010 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
44:010:011 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
44:010:012 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
44:010:013 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
44:010:014 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
44:010:015 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
44:010:016 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
44:010:017 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
44:010:018 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
