Context of Acts 10:6

4Staring at him in awe, he said, “What is it, Lord?” The angel told him, “Your prayers and your acts of charity have ascended as a memorial offering before God. 5Now send men to Joppa and call for Simon, who is also named Peter. He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.” 7When the angel who spoke to him had gone, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier, who was one of those who attended him. 8After explaining everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

Commentaries on Acts 10:6
