Meanwhile, Back At The Ranch…s5e74 Acts11:2

Like a good movie, the scene shifts back to Jerusalem from the previous action in Caesarea, 75 miles away. They have found out that the Holy Spirit has FALLEN directionally, and efficatiously, and forgiving-ly on the we-thought-they-were-unclean GENTILES.  Their response?  THEY DON'T LIKE IT! They criticize Peter for 1. going there and 2. the horror:eating with them.

Remember God has been working in the heart of Peter first.  "Don't call anything unclean that I am calling clean.  Associate with the gentiles without hesitation. Go inside Cornelius' house. Watch me work in the lives of the non-jews of the world." Peter has lots more information and experience in this opening of the floodgates of forgiveness. The Jerusalem leaders now have a chance to respond to the whole story.  Will they find where God is working and join Him? Will they begin to "make no distinction?" Listen and see how they do.
