Context of Acts 10:6

4Cornelius was frightened and stared intently at him and said, “What is it, lord (sir)?” And the angel said to him, “Your prayers and gifts of charity have ascended as a memorial offering before God [an offering made in remembrance of His past blessings]. 5Now send men to Joppa and have them call for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter [and invite him here]; he is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.” 7When the angel who was speaking to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his own personal attendants; 8and after explaining everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

Commentaries on Acts 10:6

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Simon a tanner - See the note on Acts 9:43. What thou oughtest to do - From this it appears that matters of great moment had occupied the mind of Cornelius.

Luke often describes centurions positively (10:22; 21:32; 22:25–26; 23:17, 23; 27:6, 11, 43; 28:16; Luke 7:1–10; 23:47).
