10:10. And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they
were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.

10:11. And he saw the heaven opened and a certain vessel descending, as
it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to
the earth:

10:12. Wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts and creeping things
of the earth and fowls of the air.

10:13. And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter. Kill and eat.

10:14. But Peter said: Far be it from me. For I never did eat any thing
that is common and unclean.

10:15. And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God
hath cleansed, do not thou call common.

10:16. And this was done thrice. And presently the vessel was taken up
