What happened in Peter’s vision?
In Peter’s vision, he saw a sheet lowered from heaven containing all kinds of animals, both clean and unclean according to Jewish dietary laws.

This vision was a revelation to Peter that the Gospel was meant for all people, not just Jews, and he was later led to the house of a Gentile named Cornelius to preach the message of Jesus to him and his household.
