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. No, Lord! This phrase captures Peter's immediate and instinctive response to the divine vision he receives. The Greek word for "No" here is "mēdamōs," which conveys a strong negation, almost as if Peter is saying, "By no means, Lord!" This reflects Peter's deep-seated adherence to Jewish dietary laws, which were a significant part of his identity and religious practice. The use of "Lord" (Greek: "Kyrie") indicates Peter's recognition of divine authority, yet his response shows the tension between his traditional beliefs and the new revelation being presented to him. This moment is pivotal, as it highlights the struggle between old covenant practices and the new covenant's inclusivity.
