Contextual Overview

¹⁹While Pete was still ponderin' the dream, the Holy Ghost said, "There's some boys here to get you. ²⁰Go ahead and go with them. Don't fret. I'm the one who sent them." ²¹Pete went downstairs and said, "I'm Pete. What can I do for y'all, gents?" ²²One of them said, "Our boss, Cornelius, a Roman officer, sent us to fetch ya. He's well respected and rides for God. An angel told him to send for ya and we're here to take you back so you can give him your message." ²³Pete invited everyone to spend the night so they could ride out at sunrise the next day. They left out at daylight for Caesarea and some boys from Joppa rode with them. ²⁴When they arrived a day later, Cornelius was waiting on them. He gathered his whole family and some good buddies to listen to what Pete had to say. ²⁵When Pete arrived, Cornelius fell down at his feet and worshiped him. ²⁶But Pete lifted him up and said, "Whoa, cowboy. I'm just a man like you." ²⁷They talked for a second and then went inside where many people were waiting. ²⁸The first thing Pete said was, "Now y'all know it is against the Jewish Code for me to walk in someone's house who ain't Jewish. But God showed me yesterday that things have changed. No one is unclean in his eyes anymore.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 19 While Peter thought on the vision,.... Which greatly amused him, affected his mind, and employed his thoughts what should be the meaning and design of it:

the Spirit said unto him; the holy Spirit of God, either by an articulate voice, or by making an impulse on his mind;

behold, three men seek thee; the Arabic version leaves out the word "three": the Spirit of God is omniscient, and knows all things; if the deep things of God, then much more man, and the things of man.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Spirit - See the notes on Acts 8:29. Compare Isaiah 65:24, “And it shall come to pass, that before they call I will answer,” etc.
