Acts 10:21
I am he whom ye seek—This seems to have been said without any communication being made to Peter regarding the men or their errand.
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.

Acts 10:17-24
while Peter doubted . . . what this should mean, behold, the three men . . . stood before the gate . . . and asked—"were inquiring," that is, in the act of doing so. The preparations here made—of Peter for his Gentile visitors, as of Cornelius for him—are devoutly to be noted. But besides this, at the same moment, "the Spirit" expressly informs him that three men were inquiring for him, and bids him unhesitatingly go with them, as sent by Him.
