And I heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
In context
5“I was in the town of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: something coming down like a great sheet, lowered from the sky by its four corners, and it came right to me. 6I looked into it closely and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles and the birds of the air. 7And I heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’ 8I said, ‘Never, Lord. Nothing profane or unclean has ever passed my lips.’ 9The voice from heaven answered a second time, ‘What God has made clean, you must not call profane.’
