Contextual Overview

1 In the mean time, the apostles, and the brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles had likewise receiv'd the word of God. 2 and when Peter was return'd to Jerusalem, the Jewish converts objected to his conduct, 3 and ask'd him, why did you go to eat with the uncircumcised? 4 but Peter represented the whole affair to them, 5 saying, as I was at prayers in Joppa, I saw something like a great sheet, tied at the four corners, which descended from heaven, and came just to me. 6 as I was considering it very attentively, I saw several quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. 7 then I heard a voice, which said, rise, Peter; kill and eat. 8 but I said, Lord, by no means: for I never did eat any thing impure, and defiled. 9 but the voice from heaven address'd it self to me again, and said, don't call that impure, which God has purified. 10 this was done three times, and then the whole scene was mounted to heaven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as I began to speak,...., That is, whilst he was speaking; the word "begin" with Luke, both, in his Gospel and in this history, is used not to denote the time or order of any action, but the thing itself; as in Luke 4:21 for otherwise it was towards the close, and not at the beginning of his discourse, that what follows happened:

the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning; of our ministry, since the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ; meaning on the day of Pentecost, and that the Holy Ghost fell on Cornelius and those that were with him, in a like visible form, and in the same kind of gifts, as speaking with tongues, as on them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And as I began to speak - Or, while I was speaking.

The Holy Ghost ... - Acts 10:44.
