Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 10:16
And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven.We agree with Milligan who understood this verse as teaching that "The whole scene, including the sights and sounds, the vision and the dialogue, was repeated three times."[12] The purpose of this, of course, was to emphasize it. It will be remembered that when Joseph interpreted the dream of Pharaoh, in two similar events of the good ears being destroyed by the blasted ears, and the fat cattle being devoured by... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 10:15
Acts 10:15. What God hath cleansed, &c.— The single proposition is, "That which God hath cleansed, is notcommon or impure." But no one who reads this history, can doubt of its having this double sense; first, that the distinction between clean and unclean meats was to be abolished: secondly, that the Gentiles were to be called into the church of Christ. Here then the true sense of this passage is not one, but two; and yet the intention or meaning is not on this account the least obscured,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 10:16
Acts 10:16. This was done thrice— In order to confirm the matter: see Genesis 41:32.—Before we proceed in the history, it may not be amiss to reflect upon the propriety and decorum with which things were managed in erecting Christ's spiritual kingdom. The Lord Jesus Christ himself appeared to Saul, and granted the knowledge of the gospel to him by immediate revelation, because he was to be an apostle; but Cornelius was admonished by an angel to send for St. Peter, and hear him preach the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 10:15
15. What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common—The ceremonial distinctions are at an end, and Gentiles, ceremonially separated from the chosen people ( :-), and debarred from that access to God in the visible ordinances of His Church which they enjoyed, are now on a perfect equality with them. 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 10:9-16
Peter’s vision 10:9-16"Though Peter was not by training or inclination an overly scrupulous Jew, and though as a Christian his inherited prejudices were gradually wearing thin, he was not prepared to go so far as to minister directly to Gentiles. A special revelation was necessary for that, and Luke now tells how God took the initiative in overcoming Peter’s reluctance." [Note: Longenecker, p. 387.] The original Greek, Roman, and Jewish readers of Acts all put much stock in dreams, visions, and... 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
