According to the BIBLE in Acts of the Apostles chapter 10, Peter had a vision of a sheet full of animals being lowered from heaven. A voice from heaven told Peter to kill and eat, but since the sheet contained unclean animals, Peter declined. The command was repeated two more times, along with the voice saying, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common (verse 15) and then the sheet was taken back to heaven (Acts 10:16). The triple refusal here echoes the denial of Peter described in the Synoptic Gospels.[1][2] At this point in the narrative, messengers sent from Cornelius the Centurion arrive and urge Peter to go with them. He does so, and mentions the vision as he speaks to Cornelius, saying God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean (Acts 10:28, KJV). Peter related the vision again in Acts 11:4-9.
