The Tosaphist Rabbeinu Tam wrote that Peter was "a devout and learned Jew who dedicated his life to guiding gentiles along the proper path". [citation needed] Rabbeinu Tam also passed on the traditions that Peter was the author of the Sabbath and feast-day [4] prayer Nishmat, and this was a popularly held belief through the Middle Ages.

So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him and said, "You went into the house of the uncircumcised and ate with ...
