ACTS 10:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
“And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.”
They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.—the messengers' inquiry uses both Simon's and Peter's names, suggesting cultural code-switching. Their public inquiry at the gate may have announced the arrival to those within; the formality suggests official business.
