Hechos 10:14 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:14

But Peter said, not so, Lord
God forbid I should do this, so contrary to the law of God, and to my own practice, throughout the whole course of my life:

for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean;
in a ceremonial sense, which was in common use with Gentiles, but unclean by the law of Moses: this shows that Peter as yet closely adhered to the ceremonial law, nor did he know that it was abolished by Christ; and notwithstanding the commission given to him and the rest of the apostles to preach the Gospel to every creature, and the extraordinary gifts of speaking with divers tongues for that purpose, bestowed on them at the day of Pentecost; yet he and they remained greatly strangers to the calling of the Gentiles, and the admitting of them to a civil and religious conversation with them; the knowledge of every truth was not at once communicated to them, but gradually, as it pressed the Lord to enlighten their minds.

Hechos 10:14 In-Context

12 En el cual había de todos los animales cuadrúpedos de la tierra, y reptiles, y aves del cielo.

13 Y le vino una voz: Levántate, Pedro, mata y come.

14 Entonces Pedro dijo: Señor, no; porque ninguna cosa común é inmunda he comido jamás.

15 Y volvió la voz hacia él la segunda vez: Lo que Dios limpió, no lo llames tú común.

16 Y esto fué hecho por tres veces; y el vaso volvió á ser recogido en el cielo.
