As Peter talked with him
The phrase begins with "As Peter," referring to the Apostle Peter, a central figure in the early Christian church. The Greek word for "talked" is "συνομιλέω" (synomileo), which implies a conversation or dialogue. This indicates a personal and relational approach, highlighting the importance of communication in ministry. Peter's willingness to engage in conversation with Cornelius, a Gentile, marks a significant shift in the early church's outreach, breaking traditional Jewish barriers. This moment underscores the transformative power of the Gospel to transcend cultural and ethnic divisions.

he went inside
The act of Peter going "inside" is significant. The Greek word "εἰσέρχομαι" (eiserchomai) means to enter or come into. This action symbolizes Peter's acceptance and willingness to step into a Gentile's home, which was culturally and religiously controversial for a Jew at the time. It reflects the breaking down of the "dividing wall of hostility" (Ephesians 2:14) between Jews and Gentiles, illustrating the inclusivity of the Gospel message. Peter's entry into Cornelius's house is a physical manifestation of the new covenant, where God's love and salvation are extended to all people.

and found many people gathered there
The phrase "found many people gathered there" highlights the anticipation and readiness of Cornelius and his household to receive Peter's message. The Greek word for "gathered" is "συνελθόντας" (synelthontas), which means to come together or assemble. This gathering signifies a divine appointment orchestrated by God, as Cornelius had been instructed by an angel to send for Peter. The presence of "many people" indicates the widespread interest and openness to the Gospel among the Gentiles. It serves as a precursor to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on all flesh, as prophesied in Joel 2:28 and fulfilled in Acts 2. This moment is pivotal in the expansion of the early church, demonstrating that the message of Christ is for all humanity, regardless of background or ethnicity.

(27) And as he talked with him.--The word implies a conversation of some length; possibly, as the sequel seems to show, leading to the resolve that each should state separately how they, who had previously been strangers to each other, had thus been brought together.

Verse 27. - Findeth for found, A.V.; many come for many that were come, A.V.
