'You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.'—the charge focuses on table-fellowship (communio in sacris, sacred communion) with the ritually unclean. Eating with uncircumcised men violates the halakah (Jewish law interpretation) that many Jewish believers held. The accusation assumes shared ethnic Christian identity, suggesting some believers have not internalized Peter's vision.
