Acts 11:3

1 The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him

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.
