Hechos 10:21 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:21

Then Peter went down to the men
The Ethiopic version adds, "from the third floor"; to the place where the men were: the following clause,

which were sent unto him from Cornelius,
is not in Beza's most ancient copy, nor in the Alexandrian copy, nor in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions:

and said, behold, I am he whom ye seek;
without being called by any of the family he came down, and without being informed in that way who the men were inquiring for; it being suggested to him by the Spirit of God, he declared himself to be the person they were seeking after: and put this question to them,

what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
for that was not intimated to him by the Spirit; it was only told him there were three men seeking him, and he was bid to go with them, without any scruple or hesitation; but what they came for, or he was to go with them about, was not suggested.

Hechos 10:21 In-Context

19 Entre tanto, mientras Pedro trataba de descifrar la visión, el Espíritu Santo le dijo: «Tres hombres han venido a buscarte.

20 Levántate, baja y vete con ellos sin titubear. No te preocupes, porque yo los he enviado».

21 Entonces Pedro bajó y dijo:
—Yo soy el hombre que ustedes buscan. ¿Por qué han venido?

22 Ellos dijeron:
—Nos envió Cornelio, un oficial romano. Es un hombre devoto y temeroso de Dios, muy respetado por todos los judíos. Un ángel santo le dio instrucciones para que vayas a su casa a fin de que él pueda escuchar tu mensaje.

23 Entonces Pedro invitó a los hombres a quedarse para pasar la noche. Al siguiente día, fue con ellos, acompañado por algunos hermanos de Jope.
