Acts 10:20

get thee down Peter was still on the housetop.

doubting nothing The oldest texts give the verb here in the middle voice, as in James 1:6, "nothing wavering," but in the parallel passage, Acts 11:12, it is active, and signifies "making no distinction," i.e. between Jew and Gentile. The latter was used by the Apostle when events had taught him precisely what the vision and the spiritual exhortation meant. The Spirit's teaching is given little by little as Christ had told His disciples that it should be, "He shall guideyou (lit. lead you on the way) unto all truth" (John 16:13). The vision had given no hint of a journey to be taken; now Peter is informed of it, and so too when the end of the journey is reached the "nothing wavering" is shewn to mean "putting no distinction between Jews and other men," and thus the vision was made intelligible little by little and the perplexity removed.
