Contextual Overview

1The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him 3and said, "You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them." 4But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events: 5"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me. 6I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7Then I heard a voice saying to me, 'Get up, Peter, kill and eat.' 8'No, Lord,' I said, 'for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' 9But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.' 10This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And this was done three times,.... That is, the voice from heaven answered three times, and encouraged Peter to kill and eat; and so the Ethiopic version renders it, "and he likewise said unto me the third time"; the words as before:

and all were drawn up again into heaven; the sheet with all the creatures upon it, by the same hands that let it down; the Syriac version renders it, "and all betook themselves to heaven"; as if it all went up to heaven of itself; and the Ethiopic version, "and the whole returned again to heaven"; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See Acts 10:9-33.
