Commentary on Acts 10:24

Theological / Devotional

The morrow after. Apparently Peter and his companions stayed overnight on their journey to Caesarea, as the messengers from Cornelius probably also had done on their way to Joppa. Their road lay along the Mediterranean coast.

Cornelius waited. Rather, “was waiting for them.” His attitude of preparation shows how convinced he was that his own vision was real, and that God was about to give him an answer to his prayers.

Kinsmen and near friends. These doubtless included soldiers under Cornelius’ command who were more or less in sympathy with his religious feelings, and friends from the community. He sought to bring as many as possible within reach of the new light he was to receive.
