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 So it happened that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at [his] feet, [and] worshiped [him].
26 But Peter helped him up, saying, "Get up! I myself am also a man!"
27 And [as he] conversed with him, he went in and found many [people] gathered.
28 And he said to them, "You know that it is forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a foreigner. And to me God has shown [that] I should call no man common or unclean.
29 Therefore--and without raising any objection--I came [when I] was sent for. So I ask for what reason you sent for me."
