Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Acts 10:1-48

CHAPTER 10 1. Cornelius of Caesarea and his Preparation (Acts 10:1-8 ). 2. The Trance-vision of Peter (Acts 10:9-16 ). 3. Peter with Cornelius at Caesarea (Acts 10:17-33 ). 4. Peter Preaching to the Gentiles (Acts 10:34-43 ). 5. The Interrupted Message (Acts 10:44-48 ). The ending of the preceding chapter tells us that Peter tarried in Joppa in the house of Simon the tanner. Was he breaking with his Jewish law and customs? Tanning as a trade was considered unclean by the Jews. In... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 10:1-48

Gentiles also must now hear the gospel. The heart of Cornelius, a Roman centurion, had been already prepared by God, having a wholesome, genuine fear of God that proved itself in kind works toward the Jewish people, a man of consistent prayer. Though the apostles had been told to go to Gentiles (Luke 24:47), it was no easy matter for them to begin this, and God gave two visions, confirmatory of one another, to persuade Peter to go. Cornelius was given a vision of an angel, who told him his... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Acts 10:1-48

DOOR OPENED TO GENTILES The closing of chapter 9 shows Peter on a tour of visitation, and the instrument of two great miracles, it being significant that the greater of the two was in answer to prayer (Acts 9:40 ). Almost all the commentators regard these miracles as having a bearing on the crisis of the church recorded in the next chapter. In that chapter Peter is again to use the “keys,” this time in opening the door of the gospel to the Gentiles. Indeed, since the occupation of a tanner... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Acts 10:1-48

Chapter 28 Prayer Almighty God, thou hast shewn us great and marvellous things in thy Word today. We have read a noble Psalm, and have heard of One who shall come down like rain upon the mown grass and as showers that water the earth We have heard of One coming who shall save the poor and the needy, and be the helper of him that hath no friend. Our hearts have risen to this sublime music, and our expectation has heightened as we have looked for him in whom all nations shall be blessed. Behold,... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Acts 10:17-33

Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, (18) And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. (19) While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. (20) Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. (21) Then Peter went down... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Acts 10:26

St. John Chrysostom (hom. xxi in Act.) thinketh Peter refused this homage through humility, because this falling down, Greek: proskunein, is frequently used in Scripture towards men. St. Jerome (adv. Vigil. chap. ii.) holds the contrary sentiment. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 10:19-33

19-33 When we see our call clear to any service, we should not be perplexed with doubts and scruples arising from prejudices or former ideas. Cornelius had called together his friends, to partake with him of the heavenly wisdom he expected from Peter. We should not covet to eat our spiritual morsels alone. It ought to be both given and taken as kindness and respect to our kindred and friends, to invite them to join us in religious exercises. Cornelius declared the direction God gave him to send... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 10:1-99

Acts 10 THE FIRST THING in the chapter is the angelic ministry to Cornelius by which he is directed to send to Joppa and call Peter. No difficulty arose here, for Cornelius immediately did as he was told. The angel, you notice, did not cut a rather lengthy story short by himself telling the message to Cornelius. The message of grace can only be rightly told by a man who is himself a subject of grace. So Peter must be called. God had respect to the prayers and alms of Cornelius, since they... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Acts 10:24-48

§ III. Peter accompanies the messengers to Cesarea, and, after being informed of the revelation which Cornelius had received, preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ in his house; and, as the Holy Ghost was immediately poured out upon the Gentile hearers, he at once directs that they should be baptizedActs 10:23-48 (23b-48)23b And [But] on the morrow [next day], Peter [he (om. Peter) arose and]21 went away [forth] with them, and certain [of the] brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 24And the morrow... read more
