Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 10:25-29

_ _ as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him — a mark of the highest respect.

_ _ fell down at his feet, and worshipped him — In the East this way of showing respect was customary not only to kings, but to others occupying a superior station; but among the Greeks and Romans it was reserved for the gods. Peter, therefore, declines it as due to no mortal [Grotius]. “Those who claim to have succeeded Peter, have not imitated this part of his conduct” [Alford] (therein only verifying 2 Thessalonians 2:4, and compare Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:9).

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 10:25

(3) And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped [him].

(3) Religious adoration of worship is proper only to God: but civil worship is given to the ministers of the word, although not without danger.
