| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| Who shall tell thee words whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved--The historian makes the angel express this much more generally (Act 10:6). So also the subsequent report of it by the deputies and by Cornelius himself to Peter (Act 10:22, Act 10:32). But as Peter tarried with Cornelius certain days, and they doubtless talked over the wonderful scene together, perhaps this fuller and richer form of what the angel said was given to Peter; or the apostle himself may have expressed what the angel certainly designed by directing them to send for him. Observe, "salvation" is here made to hang upon "words," that is, the Gospel message concerning Christ. But on the "salvation" of Cornelius, see on Act 10:34-35. On that of his "house," see on Luk 19:10. |

| And all thy house - Thy family. This is a circumstance which his omitted in the account in Acts 10: It is said, however, in Act 10:2, that Cornelius feared God with all his house. It is evident from Act 10:48 that the family also received the ordinance of baptism, and was received into the church. |

| Thou and all thy house shall be saved - This is an additional circumstance: before, it was said, Act 10:6, Peter shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do; and, in Act 10:33, who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee. But, in Peter's relation, the matter is more explicitly declared, he shall tell thee words whereby thou and thy house shall be saved. He shall announce to you all the doctrine of salvation. |
10 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] is come [2064] to seek [2212] and [2532] to save [4982] that which was lost [622].
34 Then [1161] Peter [4074] opened [455] his mouth [4750], and said [2036], Of [1909] a truth [225] I perceive [2638] that [3754] God [2316] is [2076] no [3756] respecter of persons [4381]:
35 But [235] in [1722] every [3956] nation [1484] he that feareth [5399] him [846], and [2532] worketh [2038] righteousness [1343], is [2076] accepted [1184] with him [846].
32 Send [3992] therefore [3767] to [1519] Joppa [2445], and [2532] call hither [3333] Simon [4613], whose [3739] surname is [1941] Peter [4074]; he [3778] is lodged [3579] in [1722] the house [3614] of one Simon [4613] a tanner [1038] by [3844] the sea side [2281]: who [3739], when he cometh [3854], shall speak [2980] unto thee [4671].
22 And [1161] they said [2036], Cornelius [2883] the centurion [1543], a just [1342] man [435], and [2532] one that feareth [5399] God [2316], and [5037] of good report [3140] among [5259] all [3650] the nation [1484] of the Jews [2453], was warned from God [5537] by [5259] an holy [40] angel [32] to send [3343] for thee [4571] into [1519] his [846] house [3624], and [2532] to hear [191] words [4487] of [3844] thee [4675].
6 He [3778] lodgeth [3579] with [3844] one [5100] Simon [4613] a tanner [1038], whose [3739] house [3614] is [2076] by [3844] the sea side [2281]: he [3778] shall tell [2980] thee [4671] what [5101] thou [4571] oughtest [1163] to do [4160].
48 And [5037] he commanded [4367] them [846] to be baptized [907] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]. Then [5119] prayed they [2065] him [846] to tarry [1961] certain [5100] days [2250].
2 A devout [2152] man, and [2532] one that feared [5399] God [2316] with [4862] all [3956] his [846] house [3624], which [5037] gave [4160] much [4183] alms [1654] to the people [2992], and [2532] prayed [1189] to God [2316] alway [1275].
16 For [1063] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: for [1063] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316] unto [1519] salvation [4991] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]; to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Greek [1672].
33 Immediately [1824] therefore [3767] I sent [3992] to [4314] thee [4571]; and [5037] thou [4771] hast well [2573] done [4160] that thou art come [3854]. Now [3568] therefore [3767] are [3918] we [2249] all [3956] here present [3918] before [1799] God [2316], to hear [191] all things [3956] that are commanded [4367] thee [4671] of [5259] God [2316].
6 He [3778] lodgeth [3579] with [3844] one [5100] Simon [4613] a tanner [1038], whose [3739] house [3614] is [2076] by [3844] the sea side [2281]: he [3778] shall tell [2980] thee [4671] what [5101] thou [4571] oughtest [1163] to do [4160].
