Who went with Peter to Cornelius's house?
Certain brethren from Joppa accompanied Peter, and Acts chapter eleven clarifies that six believing Jews went with him, making a total of seven. These Jewish believers traveled with Peter from Joppa up to Caesarea to the house of Cornelius, where he had gathered relatives and friends.
Les explains that Peter would never have gone to Cornelius on his own; God had to put the pressure and proof on him, telling Peter to go with these men. So they traveled all the way up to Caesarea. At verse 23, Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. Later, in chapter 11, Les points out that there were six believing Jews who went with Peter, making seven total—God's perfect number. So six believing Jews and Peter went with the men from Cornelius up to Caesarea. When they arrived, Cornelius was waiting and had called together his kinsmen and near friends. As Peter came in, Cornelius fell down at his feet and worshiped him, which shows that Cornelius was still pagan in his understanding.
Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
