'What God has cleansed you must not call common.'

Acts of the Apostles 10:44-48; 11:1-10

IN THOSE DAYS, while Peter was still saying this, the Holy Spirit
fell on all who heard the word. And the believers from among the
circumcised who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy
Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them
speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, "Can any one
forbid water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy
Spirit just as we have?" And he commanded them to be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days. Now
the apostles and the brethren who were in Judea heard that the
Gentiles also had received the word of God. So when Peter went up to
Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying, "Why did you go to
uncircumcised men and eat with them?" But Peter began and explained to them in
order: "I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a
vision, something descending, like a great sheet, let down from heaven by
four corners; and it came down to me. Looking at it closely I observed
animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air. And I heard
a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter; kill and eat.' But I said, 'No,
Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' But the
voice answered a second time from heaven, 'What God has cleansed you
must not call common.' This happened three times, and all was drawn up
again into heaven."
