Acts 11:3

Listen to Acts 11:3
3 "You were a guest in the home of uncircumcised Gentiles, and you even ate with them!"

Acts 11:3 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 11:3

Saying, thou wentest into men uncircumcised
Into the houses of such, and lodged with them, and familiarly conversed with them:

and didst eat with them;
which, according to the traditions of the Jews, were unlawful; (See Gill on Acts 10:28) they say nothing about his preaching to them, and baptizing them, because these were so manifestly agreeable to the commission of Christ, in ( Matthew 28:19 ) ( Mark 16:15 ) and yet how these could be without the other, is not easy to say.

Acts 11:3 In-Context

1 The apostles and the other believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2 When Peter went to Jerusalem, those who were in favor of circumcising Gentiles criticized him, saying,
3 "You were a guest in the home of uncircumcised Gentiles, and you even ate with them!"
4 So Peter gave them a complete account of what had happened from the very beginning:
5 "While I was praying in the city of Joppa, I had a vision. I saw something coming down that looked like a large sheet being lowered by its four corners from heaven, and it stopped next to me.
