Contextual Overview

1 AND the apostles and the brethren who were in Juda heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 And when Simon Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who upheld the circumcision contended with him, 3 Saying he had entered into the houses of uncircumcised men and had eaten with them. 4 Then Simon began to recite the facts one after another, saying, 5 As I was praying in Joppa, I saw in a vision something like a linen cloth descending from the sky, and it was tied at its four corners; and it came even to me. 6 And as I looked at it, I saw that there were in it fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air. 7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, Simon, arise, kill and eat. 8 And I said, Far be it, my Lord: for never has anything defiled and unclean entered my mouth. 9 But again the voice from heaven said to me, What God has cleansed, do not call unclean. 10 This happened three times: then everything was lifted 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.
