Acts 10:23-24. Then called he them in, and lodged them Or, hospitably entertained them that night. He did not bid them go to an inn, and refresh or repose themselves at their own charge, but was himself at the charge of entertaining them at his own quarters. He lodged them, though they were Gentiles, to show how readily he complied with the design of the vision, in eating with Gentiles. And, though they were two of them servants, and the other a common soldier, yet Peter thought it not... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 10:1-48

European converts (10:1-48)In the Roman regiment based in Caesarea was a centurion named Cornelius, a man who was such a sincere God-fearer that all his household followed his faith. In response to his expressions of faith and acts of kindness, God promised to send Peter to tell him the good news of Jesus Christ by which he could be saved (10:1-8; cf. 11:14).First, however, God wanted to teach Peter certain lessons.

Acts 10:24-26. And the morrow after— When St. Peter came nigh Caesarea, one of the servants ran before, and signified to Cornelius that he was approaching. (See the reading in the Cambridge manuscript, Greek and Latin.)

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 10:23-24

Peter wisely took six other Jewish Christians with him (Acts 11:12). A total of seven believers witnessed what took place in Cornelius’ house. The trip from Caesarea to Joppa took part of two days (Acts 10:30).

The text gives no reason to assume that Cornelius knew that Peter was the foremost apostle among the early Christians (cf. Acts 10:5). Cornelius... read more
