Apostlenes gjerninger 11,5

Joppa

3 og sa: “Du gikk inn i huset til uomskårne menn og spiste med dem.”

4 Peter begynte og forklarte alt for dem på en ordnet måte:

“Jeg var i byen Joppe og ba, og i en transe så jeg et syn: noe som et stort laken ble senket ned fra himmelen etter de fire hjørnene, og det kom ned til der jeg var.

6 Jeg så inn i det og så firbente dyr på jorden, ville dyr, krypdyr og fugler i luften.

7 Så hørte jeg en stemme som sa til meg: ‘Stå opp, Peter; slakt og spis.’
