Acts 10:20 - People's Commentary (NT)

Acts 10:20

18 And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.

19 While Peter thought about the vision, ^athe Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you.

20 ^aArise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”

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.

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.
