Context of Acts 10:19

17Just then, Cornelius's men arrived there in Joppa. They found Simon's house. When they stopped at the gate of the house, Peter was still thinking about his dream and what it meant. 18The men shouted out, ‘Is a man called Simon Peter staying here?’ While Peter was still thinking about his dream, the Holy Spirit said to him, ‘Simon, three men have arrived and they are looking for you. 20Get up and go downstairs to meet them. I have sent these men to come to you. So you should go with them. Do not be afraid.’ 21Peter went downstairs and he said to the men, ‘I am the person that you are looking for. Why have you come here?’
