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 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 But Peter helped him up, saying, "Stand up. I too am only a human."
27 As he talked with Cornelius, Peter went inside where he saw many people gathered.
28 He said, "You people understand that it is against our Jewish law for Jewish people to associate with or visit anyone who is not Jewish. But God has shown me that I should not call any person 'unholy' or 'unclean.'
29 That is why I did not argue when I was asked to come here. Now, please tell me why you sent for me."
