Acts 11:4 Context
2And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, 3Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, & didst eate with them. 4But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order vnto them, saying, 5I was in the citie of Ioppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a certaine vessell descend, as it had beene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by foure corners, and it came euen to me. 6Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw foure footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and foules of the aire.

Wesley's Notes for Acts 11:4
11:4 Peter laid all things before them - So he did not take it ill to be questioned, nor desire to be treated as infallible. And he answers the more mildly because it related to a point which he had not readily believed himself.
