Acts 11:4

Simon

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

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

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.
