Contextual Overview

1 In Cesarea there was a centurion of a cohort in the Italic legion, whose name was Cornelius, a religious man, 2 and was a proselyte, together with all his family: he gave much alms to the people, and was assiduous in his prayers to God. 3 one day about the ninth hour, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God, who addrest himself to him, and said, Cornelius! 4 and when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, what is it, Lord? and he said to him, thy prayers and thine alms have been observ'd and approv'd by God. 5 send messengers immediately to Joppa, for one Simon, whose sirname is Peter: 6 he lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side. 7 As soon as the angel that spoke to Cornelius was departed, he called two of his domesticks, and a devout soldier, one of those that were in waiting: 8 and after he had related to them the whole affair, he sent them to Joppa.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And now send men to Joppa,.... Which lay near to Caesarea;

and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: the angel was not sent to instruct Cornelius himself, but to direct him to an apostle of Christ, and minister of the Gospel, who should do it; for not angels, but men, are employed in the ministry of the word, which is the ordinary means of spiritual knowledge, and of increasing it. So the eunuch was instructed by Philip, and Saul by Ananias; which shows the excellency and usefulness of the Gospel ministry and ministers, and what dignity is put upon them, what use should be made of them, and in what esteem they should be had.
