    8Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

    9Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.

    10He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.

    11He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,

    12in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.

    13A voice came to him, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat!"

    14But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."

    20But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them."

    21Peter went down to the men, and said, "Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?"
