Acts 11:4-18

⁴ But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying, ⁵ I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me: ⁶ on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven. ⁷ And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat. ⁸ And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth. ⁹ And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common. ¹⁰ And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven; ¹¹ and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea. ¹² And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man, ¹³ and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter, ¹⁴ who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house. ¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God? ¹⁸ And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.
