Acts 11:10

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.’

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.

12 The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s home.
