The apostle Peter arrives at the house of Cornelius, a Gentile. Rabbinical Jewish teachings had made it unlawful for a Jew to make a social visit to a Gentile at their home. But Peter informed Cornelius that God made it clear that he was not to follow this restriction, and entering the house he found many Gentiles willing and waiting for him to preach and so he did. Peter preached Christ of the Scriptures and remission of sins.
