Acts 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 11:4

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning
Of the vision at Joppa;

and expounded it by order unto them;
or related every particular, in a very methodical and orderly manner: he did not insist upon his authority as an apostle, and much less pretended to a primacy to the rest of the apostles; but submitted to have his case heard, examined, and judged of by the body of the brethren.

Acts 11:4 In-Context

2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him

3 and said, “You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them.”

4 But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events:

5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me.

6 I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.
