Hechos 10:21

21 Pedro bajó y les dijo a los hombres:—Aquí estoy; yo soy el que ustedes buscan. ¿Qué asunto los ha traído por acá?

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 Mientras Pedro seguía reflexionando sobre el significado de la visión, el Espíritu le dijo: «Mira, Simón, tres hombres te buscan.
20 Date prisa, baja y no dudes en ir con ellos, porque yo los he enviado».
21 Pedro bajó y les dijo a los hombres:—Aquí estoy; yo soy el que ustedes buscan. ¿Qué asunto los ha traído por acá?
22 Ellos le contestaron:—Venimos de parte del centurión Cornelio, un hombre justo y temeroso de Dios, respetado por todo el pueblo judío. Un ángel de Dios le dio instrucciones de invitarlo a usted a su casa para escuchar lo que usted tiene que decirle.
23 Entonces Pedro los invitó a pasar y los hospedó.Al día siguiente, Pedro se fue con ellos acompañado de algunos creyentes de Jope.
