Acts 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 11:8

But I said, not so, Lord
For he took the voice he heard to be the voice of the Lord, and yet he was not obedient to the heavenly vision, and even though he was an hungry; which shows what a strict observer he was of the ceremonies of the law, and how much he was prejudiced in favour of them:

for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my
mouth;
he had not suffered anything to come within his lips; he had not even tasted, and much less ate anything that was forbidden by the ceremonial law, so strictly had he observed it.

Acts 11:8 In-Context

6 Milling around on the blanket were farm animals, wild animals, reptiles, birds - you name it, it was there. Fascinated, I took it all in.

7 "Then I heard a voice: 'Go to it, Peter - kill and eat.'

8 I said, 'Oh, no, Master. I've never so much as tasted food that wasn't kosher.'

9 The voice spoke again: 'If God says it's okay, it's okay.'

10 This happened three times, and then the blanket was pulled back up into the sky.
