Summary

In Acts 11:10, Peter recounts his vision of a sheet filled with various animals being lowered from heaven, symbolizing God's acceptance of all people, regardless of their background or ethnicity. This vision challenges Peter's previous beliefs about clean and unclean foods, teaching him that God shows no favoritism and that the Gospel is meant for everyone. The verse highlights the inclusive nature of God's kingdom and the need for believers to embrace diversity and unity in Christ. It serves as a pivotal moment in the early church, breaking down barriers and expanding the mission to reach all nations with the message of salvation.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

And this was done three times,.... That is, the voice from heaven answered three times, and encouraged Peter to kill and eat; and so the Ethiopic version renders it, "and he likewise said unto me the third time"; the words as before: and all were drawn up again into heaven; the sheet with all the creatures upon it, by the same hands that let it down; the Syriac version renders it, "and all betook themselves to heaven"; as if it all went up to heaven of itself; and the Ethiopic version, "and the whole returned again to heaven"; See Gill on Act 10:16.
