Contextual Overview

1The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him 3and said, "You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them." 4But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events: 5"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me. 6I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7Then I heard a voice saying to me, 'Get up, Peter, kill and eat.' 8'No, Lord,' I said, 'for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' 9But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.' 10This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said,.... Just before his ascension, Acts 1:5.

John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost; as they were on the day of Pentecost, and as now Cornelius and his family were; and since they had the greater baptism, the baptism of the Spirit, the lesser baptism of water could not be denied them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The word of the Lord - See the notes on Acts 1:5.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 11:16. Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. — These words are very remarkable. The words of our Lord, as quoted Acts 1:5, to which St. Peter refers here, have been supposed by many to be referred to the apostles alone; but here it is evident that St. Peter believed they were a promise made to all Christians, i.e. to all, whether Jews or Gentiles, who should believe on Jesus Christ. Therefore, when he saw that the Holy Ghost fell upon those Gentiles, he considered it a fulfilment of our Lord's promise: ye, that is, all that will believe on me, shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost-not many days hence, i.e. in a short time this Spirit shall be given, which is to abide with you for ever. Hence we learn that the promise of the Holy Spirit is given to the whole body of Christians-to all that believe on Christ as dying for their sins, and rising for their justification.
