Atti 10:8 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:8

And when he had declared all these things unto them
Which he had heard and seen in the vision, and of which he gave them a particular account; partly to engage them the more cheerfully to go on the errand, and partly that they might be able to give a distinct relation of it to Peter, that so he might be moved the more to comply with the request, and come along with them:

he sent them to Joppa;
perhaps not that evening, since it was at the ninth hour, or three o'clock in the afternoon, when Cornelius had the vision; and some time must be taken up in discourse with the angel, and afterwards in sending for his servants, and relating the affair to them, and giving them their proper instructions. So that it may be they did not set out till early the next morning, as seems from the following verse.

Atti 10:8 In-Context

6 Egli alberga appo un certo Simone coiaio, che ha la casa presso del mare; esso ti dirà ciò ch’ei ti convien fare.

7 Ora, come l’angelo che parlava a Cornelio se ne fu partito, egli, chiamati due de’ suoi famigli, ed un soldato di que’ che si ritenevano del continuo appresso di lui, uomo pio,

8 e raccontata loro ogni cosa, li mandò in Ioppe.

9 E il giorno seguente, procedendo essi al lor cammino, ed avvicinandosi alla città, Pietro salì in sul tetto della casa, intorno l’ora sesta, per fare orazione.

10 Or avvenne ch’egli ebbe gran fame, e desiderava prender cibo; e come que’ di casa gliene apparecchiavano, gli venne un ratto di mente.
