- Unclean animals, reptiles and birds previously unclean now make clean vs 15
Acts 10:9-17
[9]The next day, as they were on their way and coming near Joppa, Peter went up on the roof of the house about noon in order to pray.
[10]He became hungry and wanted something to eat; while the food was being prepared, he had a vision.
[11]He saw heaven opened and something coming down that looked like a large sheet being lowered by its four corners to the earth.
[12]In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles, and wild birds.
[13]A voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat!”
[14]But Peter said, “Certainly not, Lord! I have never eaten anything ritually unclean or defiled.”
[15]The voice spoke to him again, “Do not consider anything unclean that God has declared clean.”
[16]This happened three times, and then the thing was taken back up into heaven.
[17]While Peter was wondering about the meaning of this vision, the men sent by Cornelius had learnt where Simon’s house was, and they were now standing in front of the gate.
