Acts 10:20 - Exposition

But arise for arise therefore, A.V.; nothing doubting for doubting nothing, A.V. But arise . The but answers the unexpressed idea—Do not hesitate, do not delay, but go at once. For I have sent them . This is one of the many passages which distinctly mark the personality of the Holy Spirit (comp. Acts 8:29 ; Acts 13:2 ; Acts 20:28 , etc.). Here, too, we may notice the working of God's providence, under whose direction Peter's thoughts and Cornelius's message meet at the same point, like men working from opposite ends of a tunnel and meeting at the same spot.
