Compare all
21 Then Peter went down to the men1 who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”  
22 And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and ahas a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.”  
23 Then he invited them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter went away with them, aand some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.  

Peter Meets Cornelius

24 And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25 As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, a“Stand up; I myself am also a man.”

Acts 10:23

Then called he them in, etc. - They had already walked a long journey in a short time, and needed refreshment; and it was thought expedient they should rest that night with Simon the tanner.

Certain brethren from Joppa - They were six in number, as we learn from Acts 11:12. It was necessary that there should be several witnesses of the important transactions which were about to take place; as on no slight evidence would even the converted Jews believe that repentance unto life, and the Holy Spirit, should be granted to the Gentiles.
