Why does Peter recount his vision?

Acts 11:7 (ESV)

7 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’

The events described in Acts 11:7–10 recall almost exactly what we read in Acts 10:13–16. Peter recounts the vision and his response in detail so as to make it clear that he has kept the purity laws and that it was never his intent to set them aside.1
