Commentary

Notes on Acts 10:18 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

John Gill's Exposition

And called, and asked,.... That is, they called to the people of the house, Simon's family; and in a civil and courteous manner asked them,

whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter; which they said to distinguish him from Simon the master of the house, and as Cornelius was directed, and they were instructed by him: concerning him they inquired, whether he

were lodged there; the Ethiopic version adds, without any foundation for it, "and the place where they called at was Peter's lodging room".

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

Ver. 18. And called and asked] Whether death will use so much manners as these did, viz. to call and ask for us, or ever he seizeth us, it is uncertain. Senibus mors in ianuis, adolescentibus in insidiis, saith Bernard. The young man hath death at his back, the old man before his eyes, saith Aquinas. And that is the more dangerous enemy that pursueth thee, than that which marcheth up toward thy face. Be sober, be vigilant: of doomsday there are signs affirmative and negative, not so of death; and yet every man’s death’s day is his doomsday.

18. καὶ φωνήσαντες κ.τ.λ., and called, &c., i.e. they attracted by a call the attention of the persons in the house, and brought some one out. These messengers, like Cornelius himself, were most probably Gentiles, but Gentiles of such a sort as to respect Jewish scruples, and so might not feel justified in entering a Jewish house without giving notice of their presence.
