THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES - Chapter 10 - Verse 26

Verse 26. Stand up, etc. This does not imply that Peter supposed that Cornelius intended to do him religious reverence. It was practically saying to him, "I am nothing more than a man, as thou art, and pretend to no right to such profound respects as these, but am ready in civil life to show thee all the respect that is due."—Doddridge.

{d} "stand up" Ac 14:14,15; Re 19:10; 22:9
