Acts 10:23-24

10:23 So Peter ¹  invited them in and entertained them as guests.

On the next day he got up and set out ²  with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa ³  accompanied him. 10:24 The following day ⁴  he entered Caesarea. ⁵  Now Cornelius was waiting anxiously ⁶  for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

[10:23]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:23]  ² tn Or “went forth.”

[10:23]  ³ sn Some of the brothers from Joppa. As v. 45 makes clear, there were Jewish Christians in this group of witnesses.

[10:24]  ⁴ tn Grk “On the next day,” but since this phrase has already occurred in v. 23, it would be redundant in English to use it again here.

[10:24]  ⁵ sn Caesarea was a city on the coast of Palestine south of Mount Carmel (not Caesarea Philippi).

[10:24]  ⁶ tn Normally προσδοκάω (prosdokaw) means “to wait with apprehension or anxiety for something,” often with the implication of impending danger or trouble (L&N 25.228), but in this context the anxiety Cornelius would have felt came from the importance of the forthcoming message as announced by the angel.
