Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name "Cornelius."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the name Cornelius, as it is of Latin origin and specific to the New Testament context. However, the concept of a "God-fearer" or "devout" individual, as Cornelius is described, can be related to Hebrew terms such as יָרֵא (yare', Strong's 3373) meaning "fear" or "revere," often used in the context of fearing God.

Usage: The name of a Roman centurion mentioned in the New Testament.

Context: Cornelius is a significant figure in the New Testament, specifically in the Book of Acts. He is introduced as a centurion of the Italian Regiment, stationed in Caesarea. Cornelius is described as a devout man who feared God, gave generously to those in need, and prayed to God regularly (Acts 10:1-2, BSB). His character and actions exemplify the early Gentile believers who were drawn to the God of Israel.

The account of Cornelius is pivotal in the narrative of the early Church, marking a significant moment in the spread of the Gospel to the Gentiles. In Acts 10, Cornelius receives a vision from an angel of God, instructing him to send for Simon Peter, who is staying in Joppa. Concurrently, Peter receives a vision that challenges Jewish dietary laws and signifies the acceptance of Gentiles into the faith (Acts 10:9-16, BSB).

When Peter arrives at Cornelius's house, he preaches the message of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that God shows no favoritism but accepts those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right (Acts 10:34-35, BSB). As Peter speaks, the Holy Spirit comes upon all who hear the message, leading to the baptism of Cornelius and his household (Acts 10:44-48, BSB). This event is a turning point, demonstrating the inclusivity of the Gospel and the breaking down of barriers between Jews and Gentiles.

Cornelius's story is a testament to the early Church's mission and the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through his seed. It underscores the theme of divine guidance and the expansion of the Christian faith beyond the confines of Judaism.
