Bible Verses About Parables: The sheet let down from heaven in Peter's vision

and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance;

and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:

wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven.

And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.

But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean.

And a voice came unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven.
