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.
