22 And they said, " Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you. "

1. First Peter admits that he is the one they are seeking.

2. Next he asks the purpose of their trip.

3. They explain the angel's message to Cornelius. They tell Peter that his a good man, well respected among Jews, and that he has leadership skills.
