Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Acts 11:1-18

C.—The Objections Of Prejudiced Judæo-Christians To The Fellowship With Gentiles, Which Had Been Commenced, Are Successfully Answered By Peter, Who Appeals To The Obvious Interposition Of The Lord In The Whole Transaction; Hence, Those Who Had Objected, Are Not Only Satisfied, But Also Offer Thanks To God For The Conversion Of The Gentiles.Acts 11:1-181And [But] the apostles and [the] brethren that were in [throughout] Judea heard that the Gentiles had also [also had] received the word of God.... read more

Acts PETER’S APOLOGIA Act_11:1 - Act_11:18 . Peter’s action in regard to Cornelius precipitated a controversy which was bound to come if the Church was to be anything more than a Jewish sect. It brought to light the first tendency to form a party in the Church. ‘They. . . of the circumcision’ were probably ‘certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed,’ and were especially zealous for all the separating prescriptions of the ceremonial law. They were scarcely a party as yet, but the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 11:1-18

following a Plain Course Acts 11:1-18 It is very interesting here to find Peter on the defensive. We have always thought of him as masterful and strong, the born leader of men, whose authority was absolutely indisputable. But here we see him taken seriously to task by the mother Church, and compelled to show the grounds of his unprecedented action. Here also appears the first clear indication of the rift which was, in due course, to develop in the Church, between the converted Jews, who... read more

It is very interesting to note how slowly the prejudices of the Hebrew Christians gave way, and yet how amenable they were to the evidences as they appeared. The apostles and the brethren at Jerusalem felt that Peter had taken a wrong step, yet when he stated all the facts of the case and realized that the work was indeed that of the Spirit, they laid aside their prejudices and followed the light. The apparent calamity of the scattering abroad of the Christians really issued in the great... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Acts 11:1-18

Prejudice Turned to Praise Acts 11:1-18 INTRODUCTORY WORDS After Peter's visit to the home of Cornelius and his return to Judea he learned that the Apostles and brethren there had heard how the Gentiles had received the Word of God. As Peter came up to Jerusalem, they contended with him, criticising him because he went in unto the men of the uncircumcision, and ate with them. This made it necessary for Peter to rehearse the matter from the beginning. The message of today centers in this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 11:1-18

The Continuing Ministry of Peter (9:32-11:18). In preparing for the Gentile ministry of Paul, a preparation which has included what we have just considered concerning his conversion and ministry to Jews, Luke goes back to considering Peter’s ministry. Along with the other Apostles he is continuing the oversight of the church and here, at least to some extent, following in the steps of Philip along the Judaean coast. In Acts 3:1 onwards he had brought the Good News to the ‘lame’ and now he does... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 11:1-30

The Activity of Peter Results in Gentiles Being Welcomed And Welcoming The Lord, But The Rejection Of The Messiah Is Confirmed By Jerusalem Who Commence a Process of Elimination of His Chief Representatives (9:32-12:24). The first part of this section is all positive as God’s work moves forwards with signs and wonders and the raising of the dead through Peter, God revealing that it is His desire that the Good News goes to the Gentiles through Peter, that desire being vindicated when carried... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 11:4-6

‘But Peter began, and expounded the matter to them in order, saying, “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain container descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even to me, on which when I had fixed my eyes, I considered, and saw the fourfooted beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the heaven.” ’ Peter replied by describing what had happened to him ‘in order’, just as it had... read more

Acts 11:1-Job : . Peter Defends his Action at Jerusalem.— As Philip’ s action at Samaria ( Acts 8:14), so here Peter’ s doings at Cæ sarea are reported at Jerusalem. The Samaritans were, in many respects, Jews, but Cornelius and his friends were not. Would the Mother Church agree to the offering of the Gospel to Gentiles? A variant in Acts 11:2 puts quite a different colour on the course of events. D, with ancient Syriac and Latin versions, reads: “ Now Peter wished for a considerable time to... read more
