Contextual Overview
1 It wasn't long before the word got out that outsiders had been invited into God's outfit.
2But when Pete got back to Jerusalem, some of the boys who rode for God tried to get on his case.
3"What do you think you are doing going in a Gentile's house?" they accused.
4Pete was upfront with them about what had happened.
5"I was staying in Joppa," he said. "I had been up on the roof doin' some talkin' to God, and he gave me a vision. A tarp come down out of heaven right in front of me.
6Inside the tarp was all kinds of animals, birds, and reptiles.
7There was a voice that said, 'Stand up, Pete. Kill something and eat it.'
8"'I can't do it,' I said to the Lord. 'I ain't never eaten unclean stuff and I'm not gonna start now.'
9"But then the voice said, 'It ain't your job to declare something clean or not. If God says to eat it, then it is clean and you can eat it.'
10This happened about three times, and then the tarp was hauled 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.
