What was the attitude of the Jewish Christians toward the Gentiles?
They considered it unlawful for a Jew to associate with or visit a foreigner. Yet God had shown Peter in a vision that he should not call any man unholy or unclean. Therefore he and some of the Jewish brethren from Joppa went to speak with Cornelius about the things of God. Peter spoke to him about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
