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.














You yourselves know
This phrase emphasizes the shared knowledge and common understanding among the audience. In the Greek, "you yourselves" (ὑμεῖς) is used for emphasis, indicating that the events being discussed were well-known and widely acknowledged. This suggests that the message of Jesus and the events surrounding His ministry were not done in secret but were public and verifiable. Historically, this reflects the widespread impact of Jesus' ministry and the early Christian movement, which was already gaining attention and recognition across the region.

what has happened
The Greek word for "happened" (γενόμενον) implies events that have come into being or have occurred. This points to the historical reality of the events being discussed. The use of this term underscores the factual nature of the narrative, inviting the audience to recall the specific events that have transpired. This aligns with the conservative Christian perspective that the events of Jesus' life and ministry are historical truths, not myths or allegories.

throughout Judea
Judea was a significant region in the context of Jesus' ministry. It was the heartland of Jewish religious life, containing Jerusalem and the Temple. The mention of Judea highlights the geographical spread of Jesus' influence and the fulfillment of prophecies concerning the Messiah's impact on the Jewish people. Archaeological findings, such as ancient synagogues and inscriptions, provide evidence of the vibrant Jewish culture and religious practices in Judea during this period.

beginning in Galilee
Galilee, a region in northern Israel, was where Jesus began His public ministry. The phrase "beginning in Galilee" indicates the starting point of Jesus' work and teachings. Galilee was known for its diverse population and was less rigidly traditional than Judea, making it a fertile ground for Jesus' revolutionary message. This reflects the conservative Christian belief in the divine orchestration of Jesus' ministry, starting in a place that would allow His message to spread effectively.

after the baptism that John proclaimed
John the Baptist's role in preparing the way for Jesus is crucial. The phrase "after the baptism that John proclaimed" refers to the baptism of repentance that John the Baptist preached, which was a call for spiritual renewal and readiness for the coming Messiah. The Greek word for "proclaimed" (κηρύσσω) means to herald or announce publicly, emphasizing John's role as a forerunner to Christ. This baptism marked the beginning of Jesus' public ministry and fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about a messenger preparing the way for the Lord. From a conservative Christian perspective, this underscores the continuity of God's redemptive plan from the Old Testament to the New Testament, with John the Baptist serving as a pivotal link.

(37) That word, I say, ye know.--The Greek for "word" differs from that in Acts 10:36, as including more distinctly the subject-matter of the message. In the words "ye know" we may trace the result of the conversation held before the more formal conference. The main facts of the life and ministry of the Christ were already known, either through that conversation, or through the previous opportunities which it had disclosed. The question at issue was the relation in which they stood to those who were now listening.

Verse 37. - That saying ye yourselves know for that word, I say, ye know, A.V.; beginning for and began, A.V. The construction of vers. 36, 37, and 38, is somewhat difficult, but by far the easiest and most natural way, both as regards grammar and sense, is to make ὑμεῖς οἴδατε govern τὸν λόγον directly: You, Gentiles, well know the word which God sent to the Israelites, when he caused the gospel of peace to be preached to them, the word, namely, which came [τὸ γενόμενον ῤῆμα - comp. especially Luke 3:2] throughout all Judaea," etc. (ver. 38), "about Jesus of Nazareth, how that God anointed him," etc. In the above sentence, τὸ γενόμενον ῤῆμα is in apposition with τὸν λόγον, but amplifies and explains it; and again Ἰησοῦν τὸν ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ, with all that follows down to the end of ver. 39, is a still further explanation of the ῤηγ῀μα, and a summary of that gospel which, as Cornelius already knew, had been preached to the Jews by Jesus himself. The parenthesis, "He is Lord of all," is most opportunely inserted, that his hearers might know that Jesus of Nazareth was Lord of the Gentiles as well as of the Jews. The words λόγος and ῤῆμα are synonymous, as in ver. 44 and in 1 Peter 1:23, 25 (see Luke 3:2; Ephesians 6:17), and are better both expressed by the English word, as in the A.V., than by word and saying, as in the R.V.
