Acts 10:27 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:27

And as he talked with him
About the excessive respect he showed him, and his own infirmity and frailty, and unworthiness, as a creature:

he went in;
to Cornelius's house, at the door, and through the porch, to some interior room and apartment in it:

and found many that were come together;
besides his family, many of his relations and intimate friends, whom he had got together on this occasion, that they might receive some advantage, as well as himself.

Acts 10:27 In-Context

25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him. As a sign of respect, he fell at Peter's feet.

26 But Peter made him get up. "Stand up," he said. "I am only a man myself."

27 Talking with Cornelius, Peter went inside. There he found a large group of people.

28 He said to them, "You know that it is against our law for a Jew to have anything to do with those who aren't Jews. But God has shown me that I should not say anyone is not pure and 'clean.'

29 So when you sent for me, I came without asking any questions. May I ask why you sent for me?"
