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.

But now I'd like to know why you sent for me."

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

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.
