Peter's Vision of the Unclean Animals

9

On the morow as they went on their iourney, and drew neere vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixt houre.

10

Then waxed hee an hungred, and would haue eaten: but while they made some thing ready, he fell into a trance.

11

And hee sawe heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had bene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and was let downe to the earth.

12

Wherein were all maner of foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.

13

And there came a voyce to him, Arise, Peter: kill, and eate.

14

But Peter sayd, Not so, Lord: for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is polluted, or vncleane.

15

And the voyce spake vnto him againe the second time, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.

16

This was so done thrise: and the vessell was drawen vp againe into heauen.
