ACTS 10:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 2

“Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?”

Peter went down and said to the men, 'I'm the one you're looking for. Why have you come?'—Peter's descent from the roof mirrors the sheet's descent; both suggest movement from old categories to new. His direct question ('Why have you come?') shows apostolic authority even as he submits to the Spirit's directive. Peter is the shepherd, and these are (for now) sheep outside the fold.
