使徒行傳 10:33 RCUVTS

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

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 10:30-44

Acts ‘GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS’ Act_10:30 - Act_10:44 . This passage falls into three parts: Cornelius’s explanation, Peter’s sermon, and the descent of the Spirit on the new converts. The last is the most important, and yet is told most briefly. We may surely recognise the influence of Peter’s personal reminiscences in the scale of the narrative, and may remember that Luke and Mark were thrown together in later days. I. Cornelius repeats what his messengers had already told Peter,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 10:17-33

Jew and Gentile Meet Acts 10:17-33 It should be carefully noted that the mental impression which was produced by Peter’s vision was corroborated by the fact of the knocking and inquiring group at Peter’s door. This is God’s invariable method. For us all, as we contemplate taking a new and important step in life, there are the urging of the Spirit, the impression or vision of duty, and the knock or appeal of outward circumstances. Evidently Cornelius had gathered to his quarters in the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 10:1-48

The story of Cornelius is remarkable. In himself, as Luke tells us, he was "a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway." This man received a direct communication in an open vision. While God was thus drawing Cornelius toward the Evangel, He was preparing the messenger to declare that Evangel. Peter was astonished, and made his astonishment known, but yielded ready obedience to the prompting of the Spirit, and came to the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Acts 10:1-41

The Story of Cornelius Acts 10:1-41 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Before the Lord Jesus went up into Heaven, He gave command to the Apostles to disciple all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. In view of the far-flung purpose of God to reach the Gentiles, Saul had been recently saved and commissioned. However, while Saul was in preparation of this larger work, God was turning in mercy toward a people who knew Him not. It is for this reason, that our interest deepens as we come to the story of Cornelius, a... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 10:1-48

Peter and Cornelius (9:43-10:48). It is difficult for us to appreciate the huge step that is now about to be described. To us it may all seem like a great fuss about nothing. But it was bringing about a total change in the way that Christian Jews would see Gentiles. It was doing nothing less than opening the Gentile world to the possibility of their becoming Christians without being circumcised and having to observe all the ritual regulations of the Jews. For centuries the Jews had seen... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 10:33

“At once therefore I sent to you, and you have done well that you are come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded you of the Lord.” He then explained that he had immediately done what the man had said, and that Peter had done well to come. He understood the predicament that Peter had been in but can assure him that he has nothing to fear in that regard. His house is clean. Now therefore he and his friends and kinsmen were gathered... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 10:19-33

Acts 10. The Conversion of Cornelius.— This incident is parallel to the conversion of the Ethiopian by Philip; both show the extension of the Gospel beyond the Jews, and prepare for the story of the Pauline mission. On the opening vision cf. Acts 8:26, Acts 16:9, Galatians 2:2. See also p. 767 . Acts 10:19 . Peter on the roof would hear their voices calling for him. He did not need the Spirit to tell him their errand, only to help him to make the decision. Acts 10:20 . nothing doubting: ... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 10:33

Immediately therefore I sent to thee; as a hungry soul delays not to send for food, as soon as he knows where to have it. Thou hast well done that thou art come; which does not only approve of St. Peter’s coming, but thank him for it. Present before God; we will set ourselves to attend to thy words, as if we saw God looking upon us, whom we call to witness that we are ready to do whatsoever he shall require of us. Thus it becomes every one that would profit by the word of God, to attend upon... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 10:24-33

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 10:25. And worshipped.—Not Peter (Adoravit: non addidit Lucas “eum,” Bengel), but God in him, or who sent him. (Compare Galatians 4:14.)Acts 10:30. Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house.—This seems to say that Cornelius had four days previous to Peter’s arrival been fasting until a certain hour, probably the sixth, and that thereafter, when engaged in prayer about the ninth hour, he beheld a vision (Alford, Spence, Zöckler,... read more
