Hechos 10:25 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:25

And as Peter was coming in
Not into the city of Caesarea, for his entrance there is mentioned before, but into the house of Cornelius:

Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet;
to testify his great affection for him, and reverence of him:

and worshipped [him];
not with a religious adoration, or with worship due to God; for that would have been contrary to his character as a devout man, and one that feared God; but with civil worship and respect, in which he might exceed just bounds, and therefore is reproved by Peter: nor could he take him for an angel of God, or for one sent immediately from heaven to him; for he had been informed who he was, and what he was, and from whence he came, and what he was to do.

Hechos 10:25 In-Context

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.

24 Llegaron a Cesarea al día siguiente. Cornelio los estaba esperando y había reunido a sus parientes y amigos cercanos.

25 Cuando Pedro entró en la casa, Cornelio cayó a sus pies y lo adoró;

26 pero Pedro lo levantó y le dijo: «¡Ponte de pie, yo soy un ser humano como tú!».

27 Entonces conversaron y entraron en donde muchos otros estaban reunidos.
