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 The minute Peter came through the door, Cornelius was up on his feet greeting him - and then down on his face worshiping him!
26 Peter pulled him up and said, "None of that - I'm a man and only a man, no different from you."
27 Talking things over, they went on into the house, where Cornelius introduced Peter to everyone who had come.
28 Peter addressed them, "You know, I'm sure that this is highly irregular. Jews just don't do this - visit and relax with people of another race. But God has just shown me that no race is better than any other.
29 So the minute I was sent for, I came, no questions asked. But now I'd like to know why you sent for me."
