Acts 10:27

καὶ συνομιλῶν αὐτῷ εἰσῆλθεν, and as he talked with him he went in. So the previous part of the interview had been without. The action of Cornelius in thus coming forth to meet Peter is in the spirit of that other centurion in the Gospel, who said (Luke 7:6) ‘I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.’ συνομιλέω (which is a very rare word) indicates the communication made during an interview of some length. The subsequent remarks of St Peter shew us that he had been told many things by Cornelius, which are not specially mentioned, but comprehended under this word ‘talked.’

καὶ εὑρίσκει συνεληλυθότας πολλούς, and finds many that were come together. Cornelius had won many attached friends by his high character, and now of all that God shall communicate to him he wishes them to be sharers with himself.
