Contextual Overview
1 The apostles and the believers in Judea heard that some who were not Jewish had accepted God's teaching too. 2 But when Peter came to Jerusalem, some people argued with him. 3 They said, "You went into the homes of people who are not circumcised and ate with them!" 4 So Peter explained the whole story to them. 5 He said, "I was in the city of Joppa, and while I was praying, I had a vision. I saw something that looked like a big sheet being lowered from heaven by its four corners. It came very close to me. 6 I looked inside it and saw animals, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds. 7 I heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.' 8 But I said, ‘No, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is unholy or unclean.' 9 But the voice from heaven spoke again, ‘God has made these things clean, so don't call them unholy.' 10 This happened three times. Then the whole thing was taken back 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
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.
