Actes 10:26 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:26

But Peter took him up
As he lay at his feet, and lifted him up and set him on his legs:

saying, stand up;
and continue in this posture:

I myself also am a man;
a mortal man, a man of like passions with others, no better than others by nature: and it was by grace, and not any merit of his own, that he was a believer in Christ, and an apostle of his; and therefore he chose not to have any distinguishing homage and respect paid to him, and especially in any excessive and extravagant way; which though not designed, might carry in it a suggestion, as if he was more than a man.

Actes 10:26 In-Context

24 Le jour suivant ils entrèrent à Césarée. Or, Corneille les attendait avec ses parents et ses plus intimes amis qu'il avait réunis.
25 Et comme Pierre entrait, Corneille alla au-devant de lui, et se jetant à ses pieds, l'adora.
26 Mais Pierre le releva, en disant: Lève-toi; moi-même aussi je suis un homme.
27 Et s'entretenant avec lui, il entra, et trouva plusieurs personnes assemblées.
28 Et il leur dit: Vous savez qu'il est défendu à un Juif de se lier avec un étranger, ou d'aller chez lui; mais Dieu m'a appris à ne dire aucun homme souillé ou impur.
