Acts 10:20

20 Get down there and go with them. Don't ask any questions. I sent them to get you."

Acts 10:20 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:20

Arise, therefore, and get thee down
From the top of the house where he was:

and go with them;
the three men, to Caesarea

doubting nothing;
whether it is right or wrong, lawful or unlawful, to go with them, because not Jews, but uncircumcised Gentiles, laying aside all such Jewish scruples:

for I have sent them:
the Spirit of God is said to do what Cornelius did at his instigation and direction, signified by an angel he sent to him, ( Acts 10:5 Acts 10:8 ) .

Acts 10:20 In-Context

18 They called in, asking if there was a Simon, also called Peter, staying there.
19 Peter, lost in thought, didn't hear them, so the Spirit whispered to him, "Three men are knocking at the door looking for you.
20 Get down there and go with them. Don't ask any questions. I sent them to get you."
21 Peter went down and said to the men, "I think I'm the man you're looking for. What's up?"
22 They said, "Captain Cornelius, a God-fearing man well-known for his fair play - ask any Jew in this part of the country - was commanded by a holy angel to get you and bring you to his house so he could hear what you had to say."
