˱from˲_˓a˒_voice saying (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἤκουσα Δέ καί φωνῆς λεγούσης μοί ἀναστάς Πέτρε θῦσον καί φάγε)

Peter speaks of this voice as if it were a living thing that could speak on its own. Alternate translation: [someone saying to me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναστάς

˓having˒_risen_up

Here the term arising means that the voice wanted Peter to take action, not that the voice wanted him to stand up from a seated position. Alternate translation, as in UST: [Go ahead]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λεγούσης μοι, ἀναστάς, Πέτρε, θῦσον καὶ φάγε

saying (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἤκουσα Δέ καί φωνῆς λεγούσης μοί ἀναστάς Πέτρε θῦσον καί φάγε)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [telling me to arise and kill and eat]
