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
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.
