ACTS 10:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.”
'Now send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.'—Cornelius repeats the angel's directive with exactitude, showing faithful transmission of the heavenly word. His obedience in communicating the message, word-for-word, models how human speech mediates divine instruction. The specificity (location, names) authenticates the message.

Acts 10:31-33 (b) See…
