A.T. Robertson Commentary Acts 10:22

"And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned [of God] by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee." — Acts 10:22 (ASV)

Righteous (δικαιος). In the Jewish sense as in Lu 1:6; 2:25.

Well reported of (μαρτυρουμενος). Present passive participle as in 6:3. Cf. the other centurion in Lu 7:4.

Nation (εθνους). Not λαου, for the speakers are Gentiles.

Was warned (εχρηματισθη). First aorist passive of χρηματιζω, old word for doing business, then consulting an oracle, and here of being divinely (word God not expressed) warned as in Mt 2:12,22; Luke 2:26; Hebrews 11:7. Then to be called or receive a name from one's business as in Ac 11:26; Romans 7:3.
