Acts 10:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 19 While Peter thought on the vision
Which greatly amused him, affected his mind, and employed his thoughts what should be the meaning and design of it:

the Spirit said unto him;
the holy Spirit of God, either by an articulate voice, or by making an impulse on his mind;

behold, three men seek thee;
the Arabic version leaves out the word "three": the Spirit of God is omniscient, and knows all things; if the deep things of God, then much more man, and the things of man.

Acts 10:19 In-Context

17 Now while Peter was greatly puzzled about what to make of the vision that he had seen, suddenly the men sent by Cornelius appeared. They were asking for Simon's house and were standing by the gate.

18 They called out to ask whether Simon, who was called Peter, was staying there.

19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look, three men are searching for you.

20 Now get up, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them."

21 So Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for your coming?"
