Context of Acts 10:27

25And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage. 26But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man. And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together. 28And he said to them, Ye know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to me God has shewn to call no man common or unclean. 29Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it.
