Contextual Overview

¹⁹ As Peter was still pondering upon the vision, the spirit said to him, there are people below, who enquire for you. ²⁰ rise therefore, get thee down, and go with them, without hesitating: for I have sent them. ²¹ then Peter went down to the messengers; and said, I am the person you look for: what occasion brought you hither? ²² they answered, Cornelius the centurion, a man of probity and piety, one that has an universal good character among the Jews, was divinely admonish'd by an holy angel to send for you to his house, to hear what you had to say to him. ²³ then he invited them in, and they lodged there. On the morrow, Peter departed with them, and some of his brethren from Joppa accompanied him. ²⁴ the next day they arriv'd at Cesarea: where Cornelius expected them, having invited his kinsmen and intimate friends, to his house. ²⁵ as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrated himself at his feet, ²⁶ but Peter rais'd him, saying, stand up; I am but a man, as well as you. ²⁷ and as he discours'd with him, he went in, where finding many persons assembled; you know, ²⁸ said he, how unlawful it is for a Jew, to frequent a stranger, or even to go to his house: but God hath shewed me, that I should not look upon any man as common and 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.
