Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

While Peter was still speaking these words
Peter, one of the apostles and a key leader in the early church, was delivering a message to Cornelius and his household. This event occurs in Caesarea, a significant city in the Roman Empire, known for its diverse population and as a center of Roman administration. Peter's speech is a pivotal moment in the book of Acts, as it marks the first time the gospel is explicitly preached to Gentiles. The phrase indicates the immediacy and divine interruption of the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that God's work is not confined to human timing or completion of a sermon.

the Holy Spirit fell upon
The falling of the Holy Spirit is reminiscent of the events at Pentecost (Acts 2), where the Spirit descended upon the Jewish believers. This parallel signifies the inclusion of Gentiles into the new covenant community, breaking down the barriers between Jews and Gentiles. The Holy Spirit's descent is a fulfillment of Jesus' promise inActs 1:8, where He declared that His followers would receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them. This event also echoes Old Testament prophecies, such asJoel 2:28-29, which speak of God's Spirit being poured out on all people.

all who heard his message
The phrase "all who heard" underscores the universality of the gospel message. Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and his household represent the Gentile world, which was previously considered outside the scope of God's chosen people. This moment is a turning point in the early church, as it confirms that salvation through Jesus Christ is available to all, regardless of ethnic or cultural background. It aligns with the Great Commission inMatthew 28:19, where Jesus commands His disciples to make disciples of all nations. The inclusion of Gentiles fulfills the Abrahamic promise that all nations would be blessed through his seed (Genesis 12:3).

Lists and Questions

Top 10 Lessons from Acts 10

Acts 10:44–46 – Is there any archaeological or historical proof that Gentiles suddenly received the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues?

Why does Paul claim tongues are a sign for unbelievers (1 Corinthians 14:22), yet many modern churches practice them mostly among believers?

Why does religious belief correlate with social upbringing rather than truth?

Why would Acts 14:27 assert God “opened a door of faith to the Gentiles” when earlier passages (e.g., Acts 10) already describe Gentile inclusion?

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(44)The Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.--The words imply a sudden thrill of spiritual joy and elevation which showed itself, as it had done on the Day of Pentecost (see Note onActs 2:4), in a burst of unpremeditated praise. Now, as then, the "tongues" manifested themselves, not as instruments of teaching, but in "magnifying God." As there is no mention here of the utterance of praise being in any other language than those with which the speakers were familiar, there is no ground for assuming that this feature of the Pentecostal gift was reproduced, and the jubilant ecstatic praise which was the essence of that gift must be thought of as corresponding to the phenomena described in1Corinthians 14:7-9.
