Contextual Overview
9 The next day, while they were on their journey, drawing near to the city, Simon Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about noontime. 10 And he became hungry, and wanted to eat: but while they were preparing food for him, he was seized with a sudden faintness. 11 And he saw the sky open and something fastened at the four corners, resembling a large linen cloth, was let down from heaven to the earth: 12 And there were in it all kind of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, saying, Simon Peter, rise; kill and eat. 14 But Simon Peter said, Far be it, my LORD; for I have never eaten anything which was unclean and defiled. 15 And again the voice came to him a second time, What God has cleansed, you should not call unclean. 16 This happened the third time: then the cloth was lifted up to the heaven. 17 Now while Simon Peter was bewildered, wondering in himself what the vision he had seen should mean, the men who were sent by Cornelius arrived, and enquired for the house in which Simon Peter had been staying, and they came and stood at the door of the courtyard. 18 And from there they called and asked if Simon who is called Peter stayed there.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
This was done thrice,.... That is, either the voice spoke the same words three times, or the sheet was let down three times; and it may be both; it may be, that every time the voice was spoke, the sheet was let down: this was done, not with respect to any mystical meaning in the number three, but for the confirmation of Peter, that he might be the more firmly assured of the truth of the things represented unto him:
and the vessel was received up again into heaven; to denote, that when the general assembly and church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven, whether Jews or Gentiles, are all gathered in, by the preaching of the Gospel to them, they will be taken up to heaven, their original and native place, and be for ever with the Lord; as well as to certify to Peter, that what was now shown him on earth, concerning the taking away the distinction of men and meats, was ratified in heaven.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This was done thrice - Three times, doubtless to impress the mind of Peter with the certainty and importance of the vision. Compare Genesis 41:32.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 10:16. This was done thrice — For the greater certainty, and to make the deeper impression on the apostle's mind.
And the vessel was received up again into heaven. — Both Jews and Gentiles came equally from God; and to him, both, by the preaching of the Gospel, shall again return.
