Context of Acts 10:33
31He said to me, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and has remembered your gifts to the poor. 32So send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man whose name is Simon Peter. He’s a guest in the home of Simon, a leatherworker who lives by the sea.’ So I sent for you immediately. Thank you for coming. All of us are here now in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has ordered you to say.” 34Then Peter said, “Now I understand that God doesn’t play favorites. 35Rather, whoever respects God and does what is right is acceptable to him in any nation.
