Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 10:26

Stand up ... - This does not imply that Peter supposed that Cornelius intended to do him religious reverence. It was practically saying to him, “I am nothing more than a man as thou art, and pretend to no right to such profound respects as these, but am ready in civil life to show thee all the respect that is due” (Doddridge). read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 10:25-27

Acts 10:25-27. As Peter was coming in Cornelius, who had been expecting him, probably with some impatience, longing to know what that important doctrine was, which an angel had told him he should hear from him; met him, and fell down at his feet Expressing thus his reverence for one, in so eminent a sense, the messenger of Heaven; and worshipped him Not with divine, but mere civil worship: such as was usually paid to kings and princes, and others of high dignity, in the East. Having... 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. God gave him a vision to show him that the old Jewish food laws were of no... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 10:26

But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.In further development of the thoughts concerning worship presented under the foregoing verse, this event should be studied in connection with Revelation 19:10 and Revelation 22:8,9. Peter did not know the subjective state of Cornelius' mind; but what Cornelius did was wrong and under no circumstance to be allowed, regardless of the state of his mind in so doing. In the case of John in the passages cited, he KNEW the subjective... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 10:24-26

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.) Cornelius was almost impatient for his coming, andbig with expectation of some signal event: and, therefore, he had called together his relations and intimate friends, who were devout Gentiles as well as himself. As soon as he heard that the apostle was just at hand, he went out... read more

Cornelius met Peter like the apostle John responded to God’s angelic messenger on another occasion. Nevertheless Peter, like the angel, refused this unwarranted veneration (cf. Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:8-9).". . . Simon Peter would never have let you get down to kiss his big toe [as pilgrims to St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome do to the statue of Peter there]. He just wouldn’t permit it." [Note: McGee, 4:556.] Later Paul and Barnabas received a similar reception from the Lystrans and... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 10:1-48

Peter and the Gentiles1-48. Conversion of Cornelius. The baptism of Cornelius was an event of farreaching importance, and is, therefore, described by St. Luke in great detail. If it was not the first actual baptism of a Gentile (see Acts 8:38), it was, at any rate, the first such baptism which was publicly acknowledged. The historical character of the incident has been called in question because St. Peter in Galatians is represented as opposing St. Paul on the Gentile question (Galatians... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Acts 10:1-48

Almsgiving Acts 10:4 Sermons on almsgiving aim at setting forth the rationale of giving to God; and they are not so frequent as they ought to be, considering the prominence given to the subject in Holy Scripture; because (a) they are unpopular. People who never forget themselves are apt to do so when asked for money. (b) There is a dread lest by preaching upon almsgiving the preacher should not appear to be preaching the Gospel; lest He should seem to attribute efficacy to something else... read more
