Contextual Overview

19 Whyle Peter thought on the vision, the spirite said vnto hym: beholde, three men seke thee. 20 Arise therfore, and get the downe, and go with them, & doubt not, for I haue sent them. 21 Then Peter went downe to the men which were set vnto him fro Cornelius, & said: Behold, I am he who ye seeke, what is the cause wherfore ye are come? 22 And they sayde: Cornelius the capitayne, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the people of the Iewes, was warned by an holy Angel to sende for thee into his house, and to heare wordes of thee. 23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morowe, Peter went away with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanied hym. 24 And the thirde day after, entred they into Cesarea: And Cornelius wayted for them, and hadde called together his kinsemen and speciall friendes. 25 And it came to passe, as Peter came in, Cornelius met hym, & fell downe at his feete, and worshipped [hym.] 26 But Peter toke him vp, saying: stande vp, I my selfe also am a man. 27 And as he talked with him, he came in, & found many that were come together. 28 And he said vnto the: Ye knowe how that it is an vnlawful thyng for a man that is a Iew, to companie or come vnto one of another natio: But God hath shewed me, that I shoulde not call any man common or vncleane.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Peter went down to the men,.... The Ethiopic version adds, "from the third floor"; to the place where the men were: the following clause,

which were sent unto him from Cornelius, is not in Beza's most ancient copy, nor in the Alexandrian copy, nor in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions:

and said, behold, I am he whom ye seek; without being called by any of the family he came down, and without being informed in that way who the men were inquiring for; it being suggested to him by the Spirit of God, he declared himself to be the person they were seeking after: and put this question to them,

what is the cause wherefore ye are come? for that was not intimated to him by the Spirit; it was only told him there were three men seeking him, and he was bid to go with them, without any scruple or hesitation; but what they came for, or he was to go with them about, was not suggested.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 10:21. Which were sent unto him from Cornelius — This clause is wanting in almost every MS. of worth, and in almost all the versions.

Behold, I am he whom ye seek — A sudden, unexpected speech, like the address of AEneas to Dido; when the cloud in which he was involved suddenly dissipated, and he appeared with the exclamation,

__________ coram, quem quaeritis, adsum!

AEn. lib. i. 595.


What is the cause therefore ye are come? — He still did not know the full import of the vision; but being informed by the Holy Spirit that three men were seeking him, and that he should go with them, without scruple, he instantly obeyed; and finding them at the door, desired to know why they sought him.
