Peter stayed with Cornelius for a few days after the momentous "Gentile Pentecost" and then continued his itinerant ministry for some period of time. This delay in returning to Jerusalem is implied in the fact that the news of what happened in Caesarea preceded his arrival. No sooner did he enter the city than the saints in Jerusalem confronted him with his impropriety in fellowshipping with uncircumcised Gentiles. The circumcised believers - who constituted the entirety of the Jerusalem Church at the time - were convinced that Peter had transgressed God's prescription concerning the clean and unclean; soon they would realize that Peter's actions were the result of God's express command. They would come to understand what Peter had learned: In the fullness of the times, and in accordance with His eternal purpose revealed in the Scriptures, God was forming one new man in Christ such that no human being could be regarded as unclean. No longer was circumcision of any account; the only thing that matters is a new creation.
