Acts 10:27 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:27

And as he talked with him
About the excessive respect he showed him, and his own infirmity and frailty, and unworthiness, as a creature:

he went in;
to Cornelius's house, at the door, and through the porch, to some interior room and apartment in it:

and found many that were come together;
besides his family, many of his relations and intimate friends, whom he had got together on this occasion, that they might receive some advantage, as well as himself.

Acts 10:27 In-Context

25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in order to honor him.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Get up! Like you, I'm just a human."
27 As they continued to talk, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.
28 He said to them, "You all realize that it is forbidden for a Jew to associate or visit with outsiders. However, God has shown me that I should never call a person impure or unclean.
29 For this reason, when you sent for me, I came without objection. I want to know, then, why you sent for me."
