Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour: and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him. And he saw heaven opened, and there descended to him a certain vessel, as a great sheet with chains at the four corners, and resting upon the earth: in which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and birds of the air.

And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean. Wherefore also without a word, I came when invited: I beg to know therefore for what purpose ye have sent for me?
