THE MESSAGE
Talking things over, they went on into the house, where Cornelius introduced Peter to everyone who had come. Peter addressed them, "You know, I'm sure that this is highly irregular. Jews just don't do this—visit and relax with people of another race. But God has just shown me that no race is better than any other. So the minute I was sent for, I came, no questions asked. But now I'd like to know why you sent for me."

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

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And as he talked with him - He probably met him at the door, or at a small distance from the house. It was an expression of joy thus to go out to meet him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 10:27. And as he talked with him — Cornelius had met Peter at some short distance from his house, and they conversed together till they went in.
