Contextual Overview

19 And while Shemun thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee: 20 arise, descend and go with them, not being divided in thy mind: for I have sent them. 21 Then Shemun descended to those men, and said to them, I am he whom you seek: what is the occasion on which you have come? 22 They said to him, A certain man whose name is Cornelius, a centurion, who feareth Aloha, and of whom all the people of the Jihudoyee give witness, hath been told in a vision by an holy angel to send and bring thee to his house, and to hear words from thee. 23 And Shemun brought them in, and received them while they tarried; and he arose the day after, and went forth, and proceeded with them; and certain of the brethren of Joppa went with them. 24 And the next day they entered Cesarea: but Cornelius was waiting for them, while all the sons of his family, and the friends and beloved ones whom he had, were assembled with him. 25 AND when Shemun entered Cornelius met him, and fell and worshipped at his feet. 26 And Shemun raised him, and said to him, Arise, I also am a man. 27 And while speaking with him he entered, and found many who had come thither. 28 And he said to them, You know that it is not lawful for a man a Jihudoya to attach to a foreign man who is not a son of his tribe. But me hath Aloha showed that I should not declare any man unclean or profane.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 31. Thy prayer is heardActs 10:4; Acts 10:4. Cornelius prayed, fasted, and gave alms. It was in this way he looked for salvation; not to purchase it: a thought of this kind does not appear to have entered into his mind; but these were the means he used to get his soul brought to the knowledge of the truth. The reader must recollect that in the case of Cornelius there was no open vision; he used the light and power which God had already given; and behold how mightily God increased his gifts! He that hath, i.e., that uses what he has, shall receive; and no man can expect any increase of light or life, who does not improve the grace already given.
