Theophylact of Ohrid, on Acts 11:8

“And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.”

“"But I said: no, Lord." You see, says Peter, I did my part. This is an apology against what they said: "you went to uncircumcised men and ate with them." And he, nevertheless, defends himself, and does not use the authority of a teacher. Because the more meekly he answers them, the more he calms them.”
