Contextual Overview
1 AND the apostles and the brethren who were in Juda heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 And when Simon Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who upheld the circumcision contended with him, 3 Saying he had entered into the houses of uncircumcised men and had eaten with them. 4 Then Simon began to recite the facts one after another, saying, 5 As I was praying in Joppa, I saw in a vision something like a linen cloth descending from the sky, and it was tied at its four corners; and it came even to me. 6 And as I looked at it, I saw that there were in it fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air. 7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, Simon, arise, kill and eat. 8 And I said, Far be it, my Lord: for never has anything defiled and unclean entered my mouth. 9 But again the voice from heaven said to me, What God has cleansed, do not call unclean. 10 This happened three times: then everything was lifted up into heaven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house,.... The clause, "in his house", is very appropriately put; for since an angel had entered into his house, it could not be criminal in Peter, and the six brethren, to follow him. In one place he is called a man, and in another place an angel; see Acts 10:3, because, though he was an angel, yet he appeared in the form of a man, as it was usual for angels to do; but whether Cornelius knew that he was an angel, is not certain, since he calls him a man; and not he, but Luke the historian, and Peter, who repeats the account of the vision, call him an angel; however, he looked upon him as an extraordinary person, as sent to him from God, and therefore obeyed the heavenly vision. The Ethiopic version reads, "an angel of God; which stood and said unto him, send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter"; Acts 10:3- :.
