SCRIPTURE

"I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even unto me:" — Acts 11:5 (ASV)

Let down (καθιεμενην). Here agreeing with the "sheet" (οθονην, feminine), not with "vessel" (σκευος, neuter) as in 10:11.

Even unto me (αχρ εμου). Vivid detail added here by Peter.
