TSNTyndale Study Notes:

11:1-18 Jews traditionally kept themselves separate and did not eat or associate socially with Gentiles (10:28; 22:21-22; see John 4:9, 27; 18:28; Gal 2:12-14). Therefore, when the Jewish believers in Jerusalem learned that Gentiles had received the word of God, they criticized Peter’s unconventional actions and wanted an explanation, which Peter provided.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπον δέ, μηδαμῶς, Κύριε, ὅτι κοινὸν ἢ ἀκάθαρτον οὐδέποτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου

˱I˲_said but by_no_means Lord because common or unclean never came_in into the mouth ˱of˲_me

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “But I told the Lord that I would certainly not do that, since the common or unclean had never entered my mouth”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

μηδαμῶς

by_no_means

By no means is an exclamation that communicates a strong refusal to do or even to consider something. Use an exclamation that is natural in your language for communicating this. See how you translated this in 10:14. Alternate translation: “No, never”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

κοινὸν ἢ ἀκάθαρτον

common or unclean

The words common and unclean mean similar things. Peter may be using them together for emphasis. Alternate translation: “food that our Jewish laws forbid us to eat”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κοινὸν ἢ ἀκάθαρτον οὐδέποτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου

common or unclean never came_in into the mouth ˱of˲_me

The implication is that some the animals in the container were forbidden for Jews to eat. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the common or unclean, like some of those animals, has never entered into my mouth”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

κοινὸν ἢ ἀκάθαρτον οὐδέποτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου

common or unclean never came_in into the mouth ˱of˲_me

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the word never and the negative terms common and unclean. Alternate translation: “only what is holy and clean has ever entered into my mouth”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

κοινὸν ἢ ἀκάθαρτον οὐδέποτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου

common or unclean never came_in into the mouth ˱of˲_me

Peter is using one part of the eating process to represent the entire process. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: “I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean”
