Acts 10:6-16 BSB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 10:1-8

The bringing of the gospel to the Gentiles, and the bringing of those who had been strangers and foreigners to be fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, were such a mystery to the apostles themselves, and such a surprise (Eph. 3:3, 6), that it concerns us carefully to observe all the circumstances of the beginning of this great work, this part of the mystery of godliness?Christ preached to the Gentiles, and believed on in this world, 1 Tim. 3:16. It is not unlikely that... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 10:9-18

Cornelius had received positive orders from heaven to send for Peter, whom otherwise he had not heard of, or at least not heeded; but here is another difficulty that lies in the way of bringing them together?the question is whether Peter will come to Cornelius when he is sent for; not as if he thought it below him to come at a beck, or as if he were afraid to preach his doctrine to a polite man as Cornelius was: but it sticks at a point of conscience. Cornelius is a very worthy man, and has... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 10:1-8

10:1-8 There was a man in Caesarea called Cornelius. He was a centurion in the battalion called the Italian battalion. He was a devout man and a God-fearer with all his household. He did many an act of charity to the people and he was constant in prayer to God. About three o'clock in the afternoon in a vision he clearly saw the angel of God coming to him and saying, "Cornelius." He gazed at him and he was awe-stricken. He said, "What is it, sir?" He said to him, "Your prayers and your works... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 10:9-16

10:9-16 On the next day, when they were on the way and when they were getting near the city, about midday Peter went up to the housetop to pray. He became hungry and he wanted something to eat. When they were preparing the meal a trance came upon him. He saw the heavens opened and he saw a kind of vessel coming down. It was like a great sheet and it was let down by the four corners to the earth. On it there were all four-footed animals, all animals that creep on the earth and all that fly in... read more

He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner , &c.; Simon the tanner was his host; this man very probably was a good man, and one that lodged strangers; of his trade; see Gill on Acts 9:43 . whose house is by the sea side ; Joppa was a sea port, 2 Chronicles 2:16 Jonah 1:3 hence we read of ימא דיפו , "the sea of Joppa" F24 Ezra iii. 7. Targum in 2 Chron. ii. 16. ; and also of למינה של יפו , "the port of Joppa" F25 T. Hieros. Yoma, fol. 41. 1. Joseph. Antiqu. l. 11. c.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:7

And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed ,.... For when be had delivered his message, he either disappeared, or withdrew, and immediately Cornelius showed himself ready to obey the heavenly vision: for he called two of his household servants ; who were not of the band of soldiers under him, but were servants in his family, and such as feared God with him; and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually : besides his household servants, there were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:8

And when he had declared all these things unto them ,.... Which he had heard and seen in the vision, and of which he gave them a particular account; partly to engage them the more cheerfully to go on the errand, and partly that they might be able to give a distinct relation of it to Peter, that so he might be moved the more to comply with the request, and come along with them: he sent them to Joppa ; perhaps not that evening, since it was at the ninth hour, or three o'clock in the... read more

On the morrow, as they went on their journey ,.... From Caesarea to Joppa; Joppa is said to be six and thirty miles distant from Caesarea; so far Caesarea was from Lydda, but it seems to be further from Joppa; for according to Josephus F2 Antiqu. l. 13. c. 13. , from Joppa to Antipatris were a hundred and fifty furlongs, which are almost nineteen miles, and from thence to Caesarea were twenty six miles; unless there was a nearer way by the sea shore, as there was a way by that from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:10

And he became very hungry ,.... It being in the middle of the day, when it was usual to eat; and perhaps he had ate nothing that day, for those were reckoned the most religious persons, who eat nothing before the Minchah: and would have eaten ; though the Jews say F5 Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Sabbat. ib. , a man ought not to eat near the Minchah, not even the least, lest he should continue at it, and so neglect his prayers: but while they made ready , while Simon's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:11

And saw heaven opened ,.... Not literally, as at the baptism of Christ, and the stoning of Stephen; but in a visionary way, and which was an emblem of the opening and revealing the mystery of the calling of the Gentiles, which in other ages was not made known, as it now and afterwards was: and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet : which seems to represent the church of God, whose original is from heaven, and consists of persons born from above, who have... read more
