ACTS 10:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
He said to them: 'You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.'—Peter's preamble is crucial: he acknowledges Jewish law ('against our law,' nomos) that separated Jews from Gentiles, then announces his conversion through the vision. The progression—law → vision → transformation—models how revelation reshapes practice. His statement, 'God has shown me' (edeixen moi ho theos), makes the vision normative for all believers.
