Acts 10:18 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:18

And called, and asked
That is, they called to the people of the house, Simon's family; and in a civil and courteous manner asked them,

whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter;
which they said to distinguish him from Simon the master of the house, and as Cornelius was directed, and they were instructed by him: concerning him they inquired, whether he

were lodged there;
the Ethiopic version adds, without any foundation for it, "and the place where they called at was Peter's lodging room".

Acts 10:18 In-Context

16 This happened three times, and then the thing was taken back up into heaven.

17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of this vision, the men sent by Cornelius had learned where Simon's house was, and they were now standing in front of the gate.

18 They called out and asked, "Is there a guest here by the name of Simon Peter?"

19 Peter was still trying to understand what the vision meant, when the Spirit said, "Listen! Three men are here looking for you.

20 So get ready and go down, and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them."
