Acts 11:4-8

But Peter explained it to them in order from the beginning, saying:

5 " I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me.

6 When I observed it intently and considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.

7 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat. ' 8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth. '

1. Peter told all that had happened to him in Joppa. The vision. The unclean animals. God declaring them clean.

2. Peter even admitted that he "argued" with God. He wanted to refuse the command of the Lord.

3. Peter assures his Jewish brethren that he has ALWAYS avoided unclean food.
