Acts 11:5

Context
11:5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, 1  an object something like a large sheet descending, 2  being let down from heaven 3  by its four corners, and it came to me.

1 tn This term describes a supernatural vision and reflects a clear distinction from something imagined (BDAG 718 s.v. ὅραμα 1). Peter repeated the story virtually word for word through v. 13. The repetition with this degree of detail shows the event’s importance.

2 tn Or “coming down.”

3 tn Or “the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).
