Hechos 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 11:8

But I said, not so, Lord

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.
