=== Antioch incident === As Thomas Schreiner explains, there is significant debate over the meaning of Peter's eating with the Gentiles—specifically, why might the eating have been considered wrong?{{Sfn | Schreiner | 2010 | p = 141}} [[E. P. Sanders]] argues that though Jews could eat in the same location with Gentiles, Jews did not want to consume food from the same vessels used by Gentiles.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book|last= Sanders |first= E.
