Acts 10
1. Cornelius, a devout man, being commanded by an angel, sends for Peter,
11. who by a vision is taught not to despise the Gentiles;
17. and is commanded by the Spirit to go with the messenger to Caesarea.
25. Cornelius shows the occasion of his sending for him.
34. As he preaches Christ to Cornelius and his company,
44. the Holy Spirit falls on them, and they are baptized.














(39) And we are witnesses of all things.--The Apostle still keeps before him the main idea of his mission as laid down in the command given by his Lord (Acts 1:8).

Both in the land of the Jews.--Speaking as St. Peter did at Caesarea, and as a Galilean, we must probably take the word in its narrower sense as meaning the inhabitants of Judaea. So taken, the words have the interest of implying the ministry in Judaea, of which the first three Gospels record so little, but which comes out into full prominence in the fourth. (See Introduction to St. John's Gospel.)

Whom they slew and hanged on a tree.--As in Acts 2:23, Peter represents the Crucifixion as virtually the act of the rulers and people of Jerusalem and not of the Roman governor. The mode of death is described as in the Greek of Deuteronomy 28:26 and in Galatians 3:10, rather than in the more technical language of the Gospels.

Verse 39. - Country for land, A.V.; whom also for whom, A.V. and T.R.; hanging him for and hanged, A.V.
