What does Acts 10:23-24 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Peter wisely took six other Jewish Christians with him ( Acts 11:12). A total of seven believers witnessed what took place in Cornelius" house. The trip from Caesarea to Joppa took part of two days ( Acts 10:30). Cornelius was so sure Peter would come that even before the apostle arrived he gathered a group of his relatives and friends to listen to him. The text gives no reason to assume that Cornelius knew that Peter was the foremost apostle among the early Christians (cf. Acts 10:5). Cornelius had an exemplary concern for the spiritual welfare of others even before he became a Christian (cf. Acts 10:27).
