(2) They that were of the circumcision contended with him.--The conversion of the Gentiles at Caesarea had given a new significance to the name of "those of the circumcision."

They contended with Peter (the tense implies continuous or repeated discussion) because he had eaten with those who were uncircumcised, and therefore, from the Jewish point of view, unclean.Verse 2. - They that were of the circumcision. At first sight this phrase, which was natural enough in Acts 10:45, seems an unnatural one in the then condition of the Church, when all the members of it were "of the circumcision," and there were no Gentile converts at all. But the explanation of it is to be found in the circumstance of St. Luke himself being a Gentile; perhaps also, as Alford suggests, in his use of language suited to the time when he wrote.

Peter, having completed his rounds (Acts 9:32), returned to Jerusalem, which was still the abode of the apostles.
