ACTS 10:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.”
'So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to say.'—Cornelius's acknowledgment of Peter's obedience ('it was good of you to come') and the assembly's posture ('in the presence of God') creates sacred space for revelation. The phrase 'everything the Lord has commanded you to say' (panta ta de tageisa soi hypo tou kyriou) indicates that Peter's speech will be the Lord's speech; Peter is the mouthpiece.
