Acts 11:8 in Context — Acts 11

6 Les regards fixés sur cette nappe, j’examinai, et je vis les quadrupèdes de la terre, les bêtes sauvages, les reptiles, et les oiseaux du ciel.

7 Et j’entendis une voix qui me disait: Lève-toi, Pierre, tue et mange.

8 Mais je dis: Non, Seigneur, car jamais rien de souillé ni d’impur n’est entré dans ma bouche.

9 Et pour la seconde fois la voix se fit entendre du ciel: Ce que Dieu a déclaré pur, ne le regarde pas comme souillé.

10 Cela arriva jusqu’à trois fois; puis tout fut retiré dans le ciel.
