Atos 10:29 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:29

Therefore came I unto you, without gainsaying
Readily and cheerfully, without objecting to it, or saying one word against it, or making any excuse to put it off:

as soon as I was sent for:
he immediately consented to go, as soon as ever the messengers from Cornelius acquainted him with their message, being previously directed so to do by the Spirit of God; though he did not set out with them till the next day, it being more suitable and convenient:

I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
this he said, not as ignorant of the true cause, for he had inquired of the messengers, who had informed him of the reason of it; but he was willing to have it from the mouth of Cornelius himself; not only for further confirmation's sake, but for order sake, to lead him on regularly to what he had to say.

Atos 10:29 In-Context

27 E conversando com ele, entrou e achou muitos reunidos,
28 e disse-lhes: Vós bem sabeis que não é lícito a um judeu ajuntar-se ou chegar-se a estrangeiros; mas Deus mostrou-me que a nenhum homem devo chamar comum ou imundo;
29 pelo que, sendo chamado, vim sem objeção. Pergunto pois: Por que razão mandastes chamar-me?
30 Então disse Cornélio: Faz agora quatro dias que eu estava orando em minha casa � hora nona, e eis que diante de mim se apresentou um homem com vestiduras resplandescentes,
31 e disse: Cornélio, a tua oração foi ouvida, e as tuas esmolas estão em memória diante de Deus.
