when did peter go to cornelius's house in acts 10
According to the chronology, Peter went to Cornelius's house in Acts chapter 10 in A.D. 38. This was one year after Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus, which occurred in A.D. 37. That fits within the timeline as presented in the transcript's chronology.
Les explains that, according to the latest chronology, Christ was crucified in A.D. 29, and Pentecost came 50 days later. Seven years after Pentecost, Stephen was martyred in Acts chapter 7. One year after Stephen's martyrdom, Saul was converted on the road to Damascus. Then a year after Saul's conversion, Peter went to the house of Cornelius in Acts chapter 10, or A.D. 38. Les also notes that in A.D. 40, three years after Paul's conversion in 37, Paul and Peter met in Jerusalem for about two weeks. Later, the Jerusalem council of Acts chapter 15, also referenced in Galatians chapter 2, took place in A.D. 51.
