Contextual Overview

9 The next day they were coming near Joppa about noon, when Peter was going up to the roof to pray. 10 He was hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were preparing the food for Peter to eat, he had a vision. 11 He saw something coming down through the open sky. It looked like a big sheet being lowered to the ground by its four corners. 12 In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles, and birds. 13 Then a voice said to him, "Get up, Peter; kill anything here and eat it." 14 But Peter said, "I can't do that, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is not pure or fit to be used for food." 15 But the voice said to him again, "God has made these things pure. Don't say they are unfit to eat." 16 This happened three times. Then the whole thing was taken back up into heaven. 17 Peter wondered what this vision meant. The men Cornelius sent had found Simon's house. They were standing at the door. 18 They asked, "Is Simon Peter staying here?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And called, and asked,.... That is, they called to the people of the house, Simon's family; and in a civil and courteous manner asked them,

whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter; which they said to distinguish him from Simon the master of the house, and as Cornelius was directed, and they were instructed by him: concerning him they inquired, whether he

were lodged there; the Ethiopic version adds, without any foundation for it, "and the place where they called at was Peter's lodging room".
