Acts 10:6

Simon a tanner. See on Acts 9:43.

He shall tell thee. Textual evidence attests the omission of the words, “he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.” However, the same thought is set forth in Peter’s own account of the visit to Cornelius, in the clause, “who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.” This is one of several instances found in some late manuscripts of the Acts where apparently an endeavor has been made to form a complete narrative in the earlier chapters by gathering together and adapting statements that appeared originally only in later chapters.
