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 believers in Judea heard that some who were not Jewish had accepted God's teaching too.

2 But when Peter came to Jerusalem, some Jewish believers argued with him.

3 They said, "You went into the homes of people who are not circumcised and ate with them!"

4 So Peter explained the whole story to them.

5 He said, "I was in the city of Joppa, and while I was praying, I had a vision. I saw something that looked like a big sheet being lowered from heaven by its four corners. It came very close to me.
