📚 Historical Context
In the book of Acts, which chronicles the early expansion of the Christian church, Cornelius was a Roman centurion stationed in Caesarea, known as a devout man who worshiped God and performed good deeds, even though he was a Gentile and not part of the Jewish community. When an angel appeared to him in a vision and instructed him to send for the apostle Peter, Cornelius immediately responded by summoning two of his household servants and a faithful soldier to carry out this divine directive. This event is part of a larger narrative that highlights God's plan to extend salvation beyond the Jews to all nations.
