Peter's Vision

This passage tells how God prepared Peter to take the gospel to the Gentiles. Even though the Old Testament spoke of God’s plan to include all nations, the Jewish people—including Peter—still found it hard to accept Gentiles as equals. God gave Peter a vision to help him understand that the message of Jesus was for everyone, not just Jews. This vision would remove the barrier between Jews and Gentiles and open the way for the gospel to reach the whole world (Ephesians 3:6 ^a).

v. 9: As the men sent by Cornelius were approaching the city, Peter went up on the rooftop to pray around noon. He often prayed in secret, following David’s example of praying morning, noon, and night (Psalm 55:17 ^b). The rooftop was private and quiet, making it a good place for prayer.
