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.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἦμεν
˱we˲_were
The term we refers to Peter and the others in the house in Joppa. It does not include his current audience in Jerusalem. So use the exclusive form of “we” if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ, ἐξαυτῆς
behold immediately
Peter is using the term behold to focus his listeners’ attention on how soon after his vision ended these three men arrived. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [right then]
ἐξαυτῆς
immediately
Alternate translation: [immediately] or [at that exact moment]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀπεσταλμένοι
/having_been/_sent_out
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Someone had sent them]
