Acts 10:19-43 ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 10:19-33

We have here the meeting between Peter the apostle, and Cornelius the centurion. Though Paul was designed to be the apostle of the Gentiles, and to gather in the harvest among them, and Peter to be the apostle of the circumcision, yet it is ordered that Peter shall break the ice, and reap the first-fruits of the Gentiles, that the believing Jews, who retained too much of the old leaven of ill-will to the Gentiles, might be the better reconciled to their admission into the church, when they... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 10:34-43

We have here Peter's sermon preached to Cornelius and his friends: that is, an abstract or summary of it; for we have reason to think that he did with many other words testify and exhort to this purport. It is intimated that he expressed himself with a great deal of solemnity and gravity, but with freedom and copiousness, in that phrase, he opened his mouth, and spoke, Acts 10:34. O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, saith Paul, 2 Cor. 6:11. ?You shall find us communicative, if we but... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 10:17-33

10:17-33 When Peter was at a loss in his own mind to know what this vision could mean, look you, the men who had been sent by Cornelius had asked their way to Simon's house and stood at the door. They spoke and asked if Simon who was also called Peter was lodging there. When Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look you, three men are looking for you. Rise and go down and go with them without any hesitation, because it is I who sent them." So Peter came down to... read more

10:34-43 So Peter opened his mouth and said, "In truth I have come to understand that God has no favourites; but that in every nation he who fears him and acts righteously is acceptable to him. As for the word which God sent to the sons of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ--this is he who is Lord of all you all know the affair that happened all over Judaea, after the baptism which John preached--you know about Jesus of Nazareth, about how God anointed him with the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:19

Which greatly amused him, affected his mind, and employed his thoughts what should be the meaning and design of it: the Spirit said unto him ; the holy Spirit of God, either by an articulate voice, or by making an impulse on his mind; behold, three men seek thee ; the Arabic version leaves out the word "three": the Spirit of God is omniscient, and knows all things; if the deep things of God, then much more man, and the things of man. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:20

Arise, therefore, and get thee down ,.... From the top of the house where he was: and go with them ; the three men, to Caesarea doubting nothing ; whether it is right or wrong, lawful or unlawful, to go with them, because not Jews, but uncircumcised Gentiles, laying aside all such Jewish scruples: for I have sent them : the Spirit of God is said to do what Cornelius did at his instigation and direction, signified by an angel he sent to him, Acts 10:5 . read more

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... read more

And they said, Cornelius, the centurion ,.... A certain person, by name Cornelius, a Roman or Italian, as his name shows, and by office a "centurion", that was over an hundred soldiers: a just man; before God, and in his sight, through the imputation of Christ's righteousness to him; and who was a new man, created in righteousness and true holiness; and lived soberly, righteously, and godly, and did justice between man and man; and so was just in the sight of men, which was very rare in a... read more

Then called he them in ,.... Into Simon's house; not "into his own house", as the Ethiopic version adds; as yet they stood without, before the gate of the house; he took them in, no doubt, with the leave of Simon, his host, and set provisions before them, and lodged them that night: and in the morning Peter went away with them ; the next morning he set out with them towards Caesarea: and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him ; there were six of them, as appears from Acts 11:12... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:24

And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea ,.... So that they were one day, and part of another, on their journey: and Cornelius waited for them ; he had an eager desire to hear the word from Peter's mouth; and was longing and looking for the coming of him, with the men he sent for him; and he and his family were in a waiting posture, and ready to hear the word, when the apostle of Christ should come: it would be well if this was always the case of the hearers of the word, to... read more
