Commentaries on Acts 10:24

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24His kinsmen and near friends - , His, relatives, and , his necessary friends; but the Syriac makes an epithet as well as , and thus the passage may be read, his kinsmen, his domestics, and his friends.

The preparations here made--of Peter for his Gentile visitors, as of Cornelius for him--are devoutly to be noted. But besides this, at the same moment, "the Spirit" expressly informs him that three men were inquiring for him, and bids him unhesitatingly go with them, as sent by Him.Read the comment
