THE MESSAGE
Talking things over, they went on into the house, where Cornelius introduced Peter to everyone who had come. Peter addressed them, "You know, I'm sure that this is highly irregular. Jews just don't do this—visit and relax with people of another race. But God has just shown me that no race is better than any other. So the minute I was sent for, I came, no questions asked. But now I'd like to know why you sent for me."
Simplified Cowboy Version
They talked for a second and then went inside where many people were waiting.

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

And as he talked with him,.... About the excessive respect he showed him, and his own infirmity and frailty, and unworthiness, as a creature:

he went in; to Cornelius's house, at the door, and through the porch, to some interior room and apartment in it:

and found many that were come together; besides his family, many of his relations and intimate friends, whom he had got together on this occasion, that they might receive some advantage, as well as himself.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And as he talked with him - He probably met him at the door, or at a small distance from the house. It was an expression of joy thus to go out to meet him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 10:27. And as he talked with him — Cornelius had met Peter at some short distance from his house, and they conversed together till they went in.
