  • Acts 10:24–10:33

Read Acts 10:27 with 10:24–10:33. In isolation, this contribution—brings Peter into the large assembled household while conversing—can be mistaken for the scene's whole claim, detached from its speaker or narrator, or separated from its outcome. The complete unit establishes: Cornelius gathers relatives and friends, falls at Peter's feet, is raised as a fellow human, and explains the vision; Peter says God has shown him not to call any person common or unclean.
