Contextual Overview
1 The apostles and the followers in Judea heard that Gentiles had accepted God's message. 2 So when Peter came to Jerusalem, some of the Jewish followers started arguing with him. They wanted Gentile followers to be circumcised, and 3 they said, "You stayed in the homes of Gentiles, and you even ate with them!" 4 Then Peter told them exactly what had happened: 5 I was in the town of Joppa and was praying when I fell sound asleep and had a vision. I saw heaven open, and something like a huge sheet held by its four corners came down to me. 6 When I looked in it, I saw animals, wild beasts, snakes, and birds. 7 I heard a voice saying to me, "Peter, get up! Kill these and eat them." 8 But I said, "Lord, I can't do that! I've never taken a bite of anything that is unclean and not fit to eat." 9 The voice from heaven spoke to me again, "When God says that something can be used for food, don't say it isn't fit to eat." 10 This happened three times before it was all taken back into 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
Verse Acts 11:3. Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised — In a Jew, this was no small offense; and, as they did not know the reason of St. Peter's conduct, it is no wonder they should call him to account for it, as they considered it to be a positive transgression of the law and custom of the Jews. There is a remarkable addition here in the Codex Bezae, which it will be well to notice. The second verse of the chapter begins thus:-
Now Peter had a desire for a considerable time to go to Jerusalem: and having spoken to the brethren, and confirmed them, speaking largely, he taught them through the countries, (i.e. as he passed to Jerusalem,) and, as he met them, he spoke to them of the grace of God. But the brethren who were of the circumcision disputed with him, saying, &c.
