Acts 11:12

"And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man's house"Spirit bade me go" Peter had been given. direct command from God. Peter is painting himself in an honest light. "Making no distinction" "The verb translated without misgivings (no distinction) is the same verb translated took issue in verse 2" (Reese p. 409). Peter is saying, "I had the exact same misgivings that you have,. was prepared to raise the same type of objections that you have raised this day, but God commanded me to go without raising any objections." The verse infers that Peter was prepared to raise objections, as he had objected to eating unclean animals (Acts 10:14). "Peter has made it clear that he did not go to the Gentiles and eat with them of his own initiative; he went under the direct orders of God, and these six brethren could bear witness to this fact" (Boles p. 178). "These six brethren" Hence six witnesses to the events that Peter will describe. "We entered" -All seven of us. "Not only Peter, but the six brethren too had broken traditional rules, because they had been instructed to do so" (Reese p. 410).
