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
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes,.... Not of his body, but of his mind; for this was only in vision presented to him, when he was as Paul was, not knowing whether in the body or out of it:
I considered: being intent upon this object, he considered in his mind what it was, and what it should mean; it being something strange and unusual; which came down from heaven, and out of it, and came so close and near to him, that it engrossed all his thoughts, and was the subject of deep meditation:
and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air; not pourtrayed upon the sheet, but standing or walking upon it; the Syriac Version leaves out, "the wild beasts"; and the Ethiopic versions, "the creeping things"; but both are in the Greek copies, and in other versions.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
