📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Acts, which chronicles the early expansion of the Christian church, Cornelius was a Roman centurion stationed in Caesarea who was a devout God-fearer, meaning he followed Jewish practices without being a full convert. Four days prior to this encounter, while praying at the ninth hour (around 3 p.m., a traditional time for Jewish afternoon prayers), he experienced a vision of an angel in bright clothing who instructed him to send for the apostle Peter. This event is set against the backdrop of the early church's mission to bridge the gap between Jewish believers and Gentiles, highlighting God's plan to include all people in the gospel.
