Acts 10:26-28
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]26 [/SUP]But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
When did God show Peter not to call any man common or unclean?
Acts 10:13-19
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
[SUP]18 [/SUP]And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
This shows that Peter's vision of eating unclean food is about Gentiles because the Jews taught that Gentiles were unclean. God wanted the gospel to go to all people not just the Jews whom they were preaching the gospel to at that time. It is not about being allowed to eat unclean food.
