Cassiodorus : "Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean," etc. As Peter thought in bewilderment about the above-mentioned vision, the Holy Ghost said to him: "Behold, men seek thee; Cornelius hath sent them. Arise and go with them, for they were sent at my behest to seek thee." When Peter had gone down to them without hesitation, they explained to him, in order, the reason why they were sent. Peter lodged them and, on the next day, he hastened to Cornelius with them. When Cornelius saw him, he fell at his feet and adored. Peter, retaining his humility, stopped Cornelius from it, asking him - even though he had been informed of it - for what reason he had had him called. Cornelius explained to him what he had been told by the angel when praying, and waited with the rest to hear from Peter what things might conduce to the salvation of all. — Complexiones on the Acts of the Apostles John Chrysostom : At the right time, the men come who resolve his confusion. When Christ allowed Joseph to be thrown into confusion, then too, he sent an archangel to him. Here Peter's soul, having been confused, calmly accepts the resolution … when they inquire whether he is staying there. — CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 10.17 John Chrysostom : And for all this, he knew not what it meant. "Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, and called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there." But while Peter, it says, "doubted in himself," the men come at the right moment to solve his doubt: just as the Lord suffered Joseph first to be perturbed in mind, and then sends the Angel: for the soul with ease accepts the solution, when it has first been in perplexity. — Homily on Acts 22 Oecumenius : "And having called out they inquired." Since they inquired into a humble house from below, and they asked not the neighbors. Great is the power of the Spirit in what was said, that "for I have sent them." When Peter went down he inquired into the reason why, so that if he needed to leave immediately he might rush, and if not, he might entertain them in the house. And that some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied Peter homeward, for convenience. So that he might be a witness thereafter, when Peter must give an account to the disciples, that he too had been judged by the Spirit not to be partial. — Commentary on Acts
