The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 10:33

Good hearers. Picture the company assembled in Cornelius's house. It was composed of the God-fearing, devout people in the neighborhood; and, in their attitude, interest, and openness of heart, we may find the example of the "good hearer" to whom God's Word may come with power, and in whom it may be made fruitful The following are the marks of the "good hearer," of which we may be reminded by the text: There will be— I.

Acts 10:30-33. And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting The first of these days he had the vision; the second, his messengers came to Joppa; on the third, Peter set out; and on the fourth, came to Cesarea; until this hour Cornelius does not intend to declare by this how long he had fasted; but he tells him when he, being fasting, saw the vision, which was four days before, at the same hour of the day.

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 10:30-33

Cornelius then related the vision he had seen to Peter. The angel in Cornelius’ vision (Acts 10:2) had looked like a man dressed in shining garments (Acts 10:30). The vision God had given him was a response to the centurion’s prayers and alms.". . . there are certain things that do count before God. These are things which can in no way merit salvation, but they are things which God notes. . . . Wherever there is a man who seeks after God as Cornelius did, that man is going to hear the gospel of... 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
