Acts 11:3 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised. — The words cannot well be translated otherwise, but the Greek (literally, men with a foreskin) is somewhat more expressive of scorn than the merely negative form of the English. The same word is commonly used by St. Paul where he discusses the relation between circumcision and uncircumcision (Romans 2:25-26; Romans 4:9-10; 1 Corinthians 7:18-19, et al.).
