Cornelius Sends a Delegation

1 There was a certain man in aCaesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian1 Regiment,  
2 aa devout man and one who bfeared God with all his household, who gave1 alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.  
3 About1 the ninth hour of the day ahe saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”  
4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?” So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.
5 Now asend men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter.  
6 He is lodging with aSimon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. bHe will tell you what you must do.”

Acts 10:1

And there was a certain man - The first fruits of the Gentiles, in Cesarea - Where Philip had been before, Acts 8:40; so that the doctrine of salvation by faith in Jesus was not unknown there. Cesarea was the seat of the civil government, as Jerusalem was of the ecclesiastical. It is observable, that the Gospel made its way first through the metropolitan cities. So it first seized Jerusalem and Cesarea: afterward Philippi, Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome itself. A centurion, or captain, of that called the Italian band - That is, troop or company.
