Context of Acts 10:27
25When Peter arrived at the house, Cornelius went out to meet him. He went down on his knees in front of Peter to worship him. 26But Peter lifted Cornelius up from the ground and he said to him, ‘Stand up. I am only a man, like you are.’ Peter continued to talk to Cornelius and they went into the house. Peter saw that many people had come together there in the house. 28He said to them, ‘You all know that we Jews do not become friends with Gentiles. Our Jewish laws do not let us visit the homes of Gentiles. But God has now shown me something different. I should not say about anyone that God will not accept them. 29So when you asked me to come here, I was happy to come. I knew that it was right. So tell me now. Why did you ask me to come?’
