Hechos 10:25 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:25

And as Peter was coming in
Not into the city of Caesarea, for his entrance there is mentioned before, but into the house of Cornelius:

Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet;
to testify his great affection for him, and reverence of him:

and worshipped [him];
not with a religious adoration, or with worship due to God; for that would have been contrary to his character as a devout man, and one that feared God; but with civil worship and respect, in which he might exceed just bounds, and therefore is reproved by Peter: nor could he take him for an angel of God, or for one sent immediately from heaven to him; for he had been informed who he was, and what he was, and from whence he came, and what he was to do.

Hechos 10:25 In-Context

23 Entonces metiéndolos dentro, los hospedó. Y al día siguiente, levantándose, se fué con ellos; y le acompañaron algunos de los hermanos de Joppe.

24 Y al otro día entraron en Cesarea. Y Cornelio los estaba esperando, habiendo llamado á sus parientes y los amigos más familiares.

25 Y como Pedro entró, salió Cornelio á recibirle; y derribándose á sus pies, adoró.

26 Mas Pedro le levantó, diciendo: Levántate; yo mismo también soy hombre.

27 Y hablando con él, entró, y halló á muchos que se habían juntado.
