Contextual Overview

19 While Simon Peter meditated about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold three men seek you. 20 Arise, go down, and go with them, without doubt in your mind: for I have sent them. 21 Then Simon Peter went down to the men and said, I am the man you seek. What is the purpose of your mission? 22 They said to him, A man called Cornelius, a righteous and God-fearing centurion of whom all the Jewish people speak well, was told in a vision by a holy angel to send and bring you to his house and to hear words from you. 23 So Simon Peter brought them into the place where he was staying and welcomed them. The next day he arose and went with them, and a few men from amongst the brethren of Joppa accompanied him. 24 And the next day they entered Cs-are''a. And Cornelius was waiting for them, and all his relatives and also his dear friends were assembled with him. 25 And just as Simon Peter was entering, Cornelius met him and threw himself at his feet and worshipped him. 26 But Simon Peter raised him, saying, Stand up; I am but a man also. 27 And after he had talked with him, he went in and found a great many people had come there. 28 So he said to them, You know well that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with a stranger who is not of his tribe; but God has showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 19 While Peter thought on the vision,.... Which greatly amused him, affected his mind, and employed his thoughts what should be the meaning and design of it:

the Spirit said unto him; the holy Spirit of God, either by an articulate voice, or by making an impulse on his mind;

behold, three men seek thee; the Arabic version leaves out the word "three": the Spirit of God is omniscient, and knows all things; if the deep things of God, then much more man, and the things of man.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Spirit - See the notes on Acts 8:29. Compare Isaiah 65:24, “And it shall come to pass, that before they call I will answer,” etc.
