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, and threw himself at his feet to do him homage.
26 But Peter lifted him up. "Stand up," he said; "I myself also am but a man."
27 So Peter went in and conversed with him, and found a large company assembled.
28 He said to them, "You know better than most that a Jew is strictly forbidden to associate with a Gentile or visit him; but God has taught me to call no one unholy or unclean.
29 So for this reason, when sent for, I came without raising any objection. I therefore ask why you sent for me."
