Contextual Overview

¹ And it was reported to the legates and the brethren in Judaea, that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. ² And when Simon went up to Jerusalem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him, ³ saying; that he had gone in to be with uncircumcised persons, and had eaten with them. ⁴ And Simon began to address them methodically: ⁵ As I was in Joppa, praying, I saw in vision, that a certain vessel descended, which was like a sheet, and it was tied at its four corners; and it descended from heaven and came to me. ⁶ And I looked upon it, and I saw that in it were fourfooted animals, and reptiles of the earth, and fowls of heaven. ⁷ And I heard a voice, which said to me: Simon, arise slay and eat. ⁸ And I said: Far be it, my Lord. For never hath any thing polluted or unclean entered my mouth. ⁹ And again, a voice from heaven said to me: What God hath cleansed, make thou not unclean. ¹⁰ And this was done three times: and the whole was taken up to heaven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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; :- 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 and yet how these could be without the other, is not easy to say.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And didst eat with them - See the notes on Acts 10:13-14.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
