Commentaries
Matthew Henry's Commentary
10:9-18 The prejudices of Peter against the Gentiles, would have prevented his going to Cornelius, unless the Lord had prepared him for this service. To tell a Jew that God had directed those animals to be reckoned clean which were hitherto deemed unclean, was in effect saying, that the law of Moses was done away. Peter was soon made to know the meaning of it. God knows what services are before us, and how to prepare us; and we know the meaning of what he has taught us, when we find what occasion we have to make use of it.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
9-16. upon the housetop—the flat roof, the chosen place in the East for cool retirement.

the sixth hour—noon.
