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 But when Peter arrived back in Jerusalem, the Jewish believers criticized him.

3 “You entered the home of Gentiles and even ate with them!” they said.

4 Then Peter told them exactly what had happened.

5 “I was in the town of Joppa,” he said, “and while I was praying, I went into a trance and saw a vision. Something like a large sheet was let down by its four corners from the sky. And it came right down to me.

6 When I looked inside the sheet, I saw all sorts of tame and wild animals, reptiles, and birds.
