Peter on the roof
*** Image of a 1st Century Israelite House
Peter’s “trial” in Jerusalem
The accusation
Acts 11:3 (NRSV)
“Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them?”

He tells the story
Peter has evidence
Peter’s conclusion
[T]he basic defense offered here involves a metastasis, namely, the transference of responsibility for what happened and even for Peter’s own actions to God.
