and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou--declare not thou common.
because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.'
and there is a voice again a second time unto him: `What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;'
And he said unto them, `Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;
`And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven,
and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth;
and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;
for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.
