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 While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.

18 They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.

19 As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

20 So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”

21 So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
