This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him - a mark of the highest respect.
fell down at his feet, and worshipped him - In the East this way of showing respect was customary not only to kings, but to others occupying a superior station; but among the Greeks and Romans it was reserved for the gods. Peter, therefore, declines it as due to no mortal [Grotius]. “Those who claim to have succeeded Peter, have not imitated this part of his conduct” [Alford] (therein only verifying 2Th 2:4, and compare Rev 19:10; Rev 22:9).
