Cornelius, a devout man, being commanded by an angel, sends for Peter,11. who by a vision is taught not to despise the Gentiles; 17. and is commanded by the Spirit to go with the messenger to Caesarea. 25. Cornelius shows the occasion of his sending for him. 34. As he preaches Christ to Cornelius and his company, 44. the Holy Spirit falls on them, and they are baptized. So when I was invited Peter's invitation to the house of Cornelius marks a significant moment in the early Church, as it represents the opening of the Gospel to the Gentiles. Cornelius, a Roman centurion, was a God-fearing man who sought the truth. This invitation was divinely orchestrated, as Cornelius had received a vision instructing him to send for Peter. The act of inviting Peter, a Jew, into a Gentile's home was culturally significant, breaking traditional Jewish customs that discouraged such interactions.
