Acts 9:43 - Additional Comments

The nature of the work of a tanner in dealing with dead animals would have made him ceremonially unclean and unlawful for Peter to be around. The Spirit of God moved Peter not to withdraw himself from this man's presence. He may not have understood it at the time, but God was preparing him for a major shift in his understanding of God's plan of redemption for all people.
