Context of Acts 10:27

25As Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26But Peter pulled him up, saying, “Stand up! I too am just a man.” Talking with him, Peter went inside and found many people gathered. 28He said to them, “You yourselves know that it is not permitted for a Jewish man to associate with a non-Jew or to visit him. Yet God has shown me that I should call no one unholy or unclean. 29So I came without objection when I was sent for. I ask, then, what is the reason why you sent for me?”
