1 | What did the voice say the third time? | Acts 10:16 | Mangudai | 169669 | ||
In Acts 10 What did the voice say the third time? Hi all! I'm new to this forum. Hopefully this is a place to find answers to confusing questions about the bible. "He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. 13Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." 14"Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." 15The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean." 16This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven." What did the voice say the third time? Is this an unanswerable mystery, or did the same sequence of dialogue repeat three times? |

Greetings Mangudai! Let's look at what the voice said the first two times. Acts 10:13 says, "Then a voice told him, ‘‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.” " But, the second statement from the voice is not quite the same, though the text specifically identifies it as the 'second' time. So, Acts 10:15 says, "The voice spoke to him a second time, ‘‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” " The text seems to be clear that two slightly different statements were made, not that they were both repeated twice. Acts 10:16 says, "This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven. " I would note that the exact statement is not given. Therefore, one could not know for certain exactly what the voice said to Peter. However, all three of the comments were surely in the same context of being a command to eat and to not consider anything unclean that God has made clean. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
