This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Act 10:33. Καλῶς ἐποίησας, thou hast done well) A formula of approbation. He praises Peter, in that he has not hesitated to come: Act 10:29.-ἐνώπιόν σου, in thy presence) A most ancient reading.[63] A transcriber easily took τοῦ Θεοῦ for σοῦ, either from the end of the verse or from Act 10:31.-πάρεσμεν, we are present) Cornelius, in his own house, speaks in the same way as if he and his friends were at Peter’s house. They had been religiously prepared for hearing. The soil was good; and in consequence the fruit was most speedy in its growth: Act 10:44.-τὰ προστεταγμένα σοι, that have been commanded thee) It does not seem to have been previously told to Peter what he should say.

[63] Which the Germ. Vers. prefers, following the margin of Ed. 2 rather than the larger Ed.-E. B.

ABCEe (B has Κυρίου in the collation of Birch, probably an error of the collator) have τοῦ Θεοῦ. D corrected, d Vulg. Syr. and Theb. have σου.-E. and T.
