So, Peter invited them to stay [for the night]. The next day Peter got up and went with the men, [who were] accompanied by certain [Christian] brothers from Joppa.
So, I proceeded to send [my men] for you and you have done the right thing in coming [here]. Now, therefore, we are all assembled here before God, to hear everything you were commanded by the Lord [to tell us].”
And the believers of Jewish descent, who had come with Peter, were amazed [when they saw] that the gift of the Holy Spirit had [now] been poured out on the Gentiles also.
The Holy Spirit directed me to go with them, without showing any discrimination. With these six brothers accompanying me, we went into Cornelius’ house
[So], hearing that we were coming, the brothers [from Rome] traveled from there as far [south] as “The Market of Appius” and “The Three Inns” to meet us. When Paul saw them he thanked God and was [very] encouraged.
Now at Joppa [Note: This was also a town on the west coast of Palestine, today called “Jaffa,” and is now a part of Tel Aviv] there was a certain disciple named Tabitha (she was also called Dorcas, which means “Gazelle”). She practiced many good deeds and always gave money to poor people.
And since Lydda was very close to Joppa, the disciples [at Joppa], hearing that Peter was at Lydda [See verse 32], sent two men there to urge him, “Do not delay your coming [here] to us.”
