Atos 11:13 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 11:13

And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house,
&c.] The clause, "in his house", is very appropriately put; for since an angel had entered into his house, it could not be criminal in Peter, and the six brethren, to follow him. In one place he is called a man, and in another place an angel; see ( Acts 10:3 Acts 10:30 ) , because, though he was an angel, yet he appeared in the form of a man, as it was usual for angels to do; but whether Cornelius knew that he was an angel, is not certain, since he calls him a man; and not he, but Luke the historian, and Peter, who repeats the account of the vision, call him an angel; however, he looked upon him as an extraordinary person, as sent to him from God, and therefore obeyed the heavenly vision. The Ethiopic version reads, "an angel of God; which stood and said unto him, send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter"; (See Gill on Acts 10:5).

11 E eis que, nesse momento, pararam em frente � casa onde estávamos três homens que me foram enviados de Cesaréia.

12 Disse-me o Espírito que eu fosse com eles, sem hesitar; e também estes seis irmãos foram comigo e entramos na casa daquele homem.

13 E ele nos contou como vira em pé em sua casa o anjo, que lhe dissera: Envia a Jope e manda chamar a Simão, que tem por sobrenome Pedro,

14 o qual te dirá palavras pelas quais serás salvo, tu e toda a tua casa.

15 Logo que eu comecei a falar, desceu sobre eles o Espírito Santo, como também sobre nós no princípio.
