Now send men to Joppa Joppa, known today as Jaffa, is an ancient port city on the Mediterranean coast. It was historically significant as a major seaport in Israel. In biblical times, Joppa was the port from which Jonah attempted to flee from God's command (Jonah 1:3).

This command signifies a pivotal moment in the early church, as it sets the stage for the inclusion of Gentiles into the Christian faith. to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter Persons / Places / Events 1.

Role of Visions and Divine Guidance Cornelius' vision highlights how God can use supernatural means to direct His people, encouraging believers to be open to God's leading in various forms. Hospitality and Fellowship Peter's stay with Simon the tanner, a potentially ritually unclean occupation, shows the importance of fellowship and breaking down social barriers within the Christian community. Preparedness for God's Work Both Cornelius and Peter are prepared by God for this encounter, reminding believers to be spiritually ready for the opportunities God presents.(5, 6) Call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter.--The circumstances of the communication present, it is obvious, a striking parallelism with those attendant on the revelation to Ananias in Acts 9:10-17. To those who regard both narratives as fictitious, the resemblance will appear as characteristic of St. Luke's style as a writer. Admitting, however, the possibility of a divine guidance being given by a supernatural message, it will not seem strange to us, as has been said already, that it should in each case take the form which made it most effectual, giving directions as to names and places, and yet leaving something open as a test of faith.Verse 5. - Fetch for call for, A.V.; one (in italics) for one (in roman), A.V. and T.R.; who is surnamed for whose surname is, A.V.
