SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:16
Y esto fue hecho por tres veces; y el vaso volvi a ser recogido en el cielo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 10:16
Verse 16. This was done thrice] For the greater certainty, and to make the deeper impression on the apostle's mind. And the vessel was received up again into heaven.] Both Jews and Gentiles came equally from God; and to him, both, by the preaching of the Gospel, shall again return.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-18 - The prejudices of Peter against the Gentiles, would have prevented his going to Cornelius, unless the Lord had prepared him for this service To tell a Jew that God had directed those animals to be reckoned clea which were hitherto deemed unclean, was in effect saying, that the la of Moses was done away. Peter was soon made to know the meaning of it God knows what services are before us, and how to prepare us; and we know the meaning of what he has taught us, when we find what occasio we have to make use of it.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
10:16 {Thrice} (epitris). For three times. Peter remained unconvinced even by the prohibition of God. Here is a striking illustration of obstinacy on the part of one who acknowledges the voice of God to him when the command of the Lord crosses one's preferences and prejudices. There are abundant examples today of precisely this thing. In a real sense Peter was maintaining a pose of piety beyond the will of the Lord. Peter was defiling what God had cleansed. {Was received up} (anelemfqe). First aorist passive indicative of analambanw, to take up. The word used of the Ascension (#1:22).
