Acts 11:7 in context

The verses around it, from Acts 11.

3 and said, “You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them.”

4 But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events:

5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me.

6 I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.

7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’

8 ‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

9 But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’

10 This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.

11 Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.
