Acts 11:6

---

← Acts 11:5	Acts 11:6 (KJV)	Acts 11:7 →
I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:	Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.	And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
