Hechos 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.

Hechos 11:8 In-Context

6 Cuando me fijé en el contenido de la sábana, vi toda clase de animales domésticos y salvajes, reptiles y aves.

7 Y oí una voz que decía: “Levántate, Pedro, mátalos y come de ellos”.

8 »“No, Señor —respondí—. Jamás he comido algo que nuestras leyes judías declaren impuro o inmundo”.

9 »Pero la voz del cielo habló de nuevo: “No llames a algo impuro si Dios lo ha hecho limpio”.

10 Eso sucedió tres veces antes de que la sábana, con todo lo que había dentro, fuera subida al cielo otra vez.
