Reading for May 3rd

Read Acts 10.17-33
In verse 19: Since he was still thinking about the vision, peter got his first signal of their presence directly from the Spirit.
In verse 20: He was to go without hesitation, which meant no delay, distinctions, or objections (v. 29; Jas 2.4).
In verse 22: Compare v. 2.
In verse 23: Peter's hospitality already begins to diminish the boundary, unless it is assumed the "slave" and the "devout soldier" (v. 7) were Jews (v. 28).
In verse 25-26: Worship here could simply mean acknowledgment of authority in oriental homage, but it could imply a blasphemous confusion of a mortal for God (14.15).
In verse 28: The boundaries of what was lawful in relationships between Jews and gentiles were drawn carefully in various Jewish traditions, but few were so strict as to prevent association or visits (see Jesus in Lk 7.7).
