"And. heard also. voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat. But. said, not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth"Not so, Lord" Peter is letting these Christians know that he reacted in the same way that they were now reacting. "Peter is explaining to them how he used to have prejudices based on human tradition just like they now have, and how these prejudices were overcome" (Reese p. 408). Consider how Peter identifies with his listeners. Once Peter learned the truth on this issue, he did not despise all who were at. lesser level of understanding. Peter is saying, "Hey,. know what you are thinking...I've been there."
