使徒行传 10:24 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:24

And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea
So that they were one day, and part of another, on their journey:

and Cornelius waited for them;
he had an eager desire to hear the word from Peter's mouth; and was longing and looking for the coming of him, with the men he sent for him; and he and his family were in a waiting posture, and ready to hear the word, when the apostle of Christ should come: it would be well if this was always the case of the hearers of the word, to assemble before their ministers come; and be waiting for them, and in full expectation of them, and ready to receive them, and the words of grace which drop from their lips:

and had called together his kinsmen and near friends;
or necessary ones: not only his relations according to the flesh, which might be in the Italian band, but his most familiar acquaintance, with whom he was in the strictest friendship; who may be called "necessary", as they are both by the Greeks and Romans, because they are often necessary for assistance and counsel: this shows the true grace of God in him, which wherever it is, puts a man on seeking after the spiritual and eternal welfare of all with whom he is concerned, and especially his relatives and friends.

23 彼 得 就 请 他 们 进 去 ， 住 了 一 宿 。 次 日 ， 起 身 和 他 们 同 去 ， 还 有 约 帕 的 几 个 弟 兄 同 着 他 去 ；

24 又 次 日 ， 他 们 进 入 该 撒 利 亚 ， 哥 尼 流 已 经 请 了 他 的 亲 属 密 友 等 候 他 们 。
