• We have here {in Acts 10} four distinct points: {v.2} the conversion of the soul by grace (Cornelius was already converted, and his prayers and alms accepted by God); {v.43} then the testimony of the remission of his sins by faith in Jesus, the victim by whom propitiation was made for us on the cross; {v.44} then the seal of God in the gift of the Holy Spirit; {v.48} and, finally, the formal reception among the Christians. This order is not that which is found elsewhere; because God was here showing that it was His will that the Gentiles should be received. But it is important to distinguish the four things, and to observe the true force of each of them. (“Meditations on Acts 10” by J.N. Darby)
• The apostle of the circumcision must now openly act on the grand principle of Christianity which knows no distinction between Jew or Greek. (“Acts 10:1-16” by W. Kelly)
