“And the spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:”

'The Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going with them. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house.'—the Spirit's explicit word ('told me,' eipen moi to pneuma) overrides any remaining hesitation; divine guidance is direct and unambiguous. The 'six brothers' (hoi hex adelphoi, echoed as 'brothers' emphasizing kinship) are the witnesses from Joppa; they provide testimony to the Gentile conversion. The plural entry ('we entered') establishes corporate witnessing.
