Cornelius had invited in his relatives and his intimate friends and was waiting for them. When Peter actually came in, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet and made obeisance to him.

You know the story that has gone all over Judea, starting from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed, about Jesus of Nazareth, and how God endowed him with the power of the holy Spirit, and he went about doing good and curing all who were in the power of the devil, because God was with him.

He also directed us to announce to the people and bear solemn testimony that he is the one whom God has appointed to be the judge of the living and the dead.

Before Peter had finished saying these words, the holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to his message.
