The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 10:5-6

The intimacy of Divine knowledge. This is a striking passage when thoughtfully considered. The doctrine of Divine omniscience we may accept without having any adequate conception of it, or feeling any practical impression attending on our faith. The ease with which a general truth or principle may be held, while it yet remains ineffective on the life, has often been urged on us. The skilful teacher seeks to set forth the general truth in some particular instance, and expects that the truth... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 10:3-6

Acts 10:3-6. He saw At a time, it seems, when engaged in secret devotion; in a vision Not in a trance, like Peter; evidently Φανερως , manifestly and plainly, so as to leave him, though not accustomed to things of this kind, no room to suspect any imposition; about the ninth hour That is, about three in the afternoon, which, being the hour of evening sacrifice, was chosen by him as a proper season for his devotion; an angel of God Known to be such by the brightness of his... 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.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 10:5

And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side.The angel's directions as given to Cornelius to enable him to contact Peter were full, explicit, sufficient and correct. The mention of Simon's occupation was noted under Acts 9:43; and, if Simon was the head of a large tanning industry, which is a definite possibility, the mention of his being a tanner would greatly have facilitated finding him.The big... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 10:1-18

2. The conversion of Cornelius 10:1-11:18Many people consider healing a lame person a great miracle and raising a dead person back to life an even greater one. But the spiritual salvation of a lost sinner is greater than both of them. The Lord performed the first two miracles through Peter (Acts 9:32-43), and now He did the third (ch. 10)."In a sense this scene is the book’s turning point, as from here the gospel will fan out in all directions to people across a vast array of geographical... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 10:5-6

God told Cornelius to send some men to Joppa for Simon Peter who was staying there with another Simon, the tanner (cf. Acts 9:43). Tanners used quite a bit of water in practicing their trade, and this may be the reason this Simon lived by the Mediterranean Sea. read more
