Acts 10:27 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:27

And as he talked with him
About the excessive respect he showed him, and his own infirmity and frailty, and unworthiness, as a creature:

he went in;
to Cornelius's house, at the door, and through the porch, to some interior room and apartment in it:

and found many that were come together;
besides his family, many of his relations and intimate friends, whom he had got together on this occasion, that they might receive some advantage, as well as himself.

Acts 10:27 In-Context

25 On Peter's arrival Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, worshiped him.
26 But Peter made him get up, saying, "Stand up; I am only a mortal."
27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found that many had assembled;
28 and he said to them, "You yourselves know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with or to visit a Gentile; but God has shown me that I should not call anyone profane or unclean.
29 So when I was sent for, I came without objection. Now may I ask why you sent for me?"
