Context of Acts 10:27

25When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him. 26But Peter lifted him up and said, “Stand up. I myself am also a man.” While talking with him, he went in and found a large gathering of people. 28Peter said to them, “You know it’s forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner, but God has shown me that I must not call any person impure or unclean. 29That’s why I came without any objection when I was sent for. So may I ask why you sent for me?”
