Peter was praying on a roof when he had a strange dream. A big sheet came down from the sky, full of animals that God's people weren't allowed to eat.
A voice said, “Get up, Peter, and eat!” Peter said, “No way!” The voice said, “Don't call unclean what God has made clean.” This happened three times!
Then men came from a Roman soldier named Cornelius. God was teaching Peter that Jesus is for everyone, from every country! Cornelius and his family believed and received the Holy Spirit.
