Clarke's Acts 10:26 Bible Commentary
I myself also am a man - "I am not an angel; I am come to you simply, on the part of God, to deliver to you the doctrine of eternal life."
Barnes's Acts 10:26 Bible Commentary
Stand up ... - 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).
Wesley's Acts 10:26 Bible Commentary
10:26 I myself also am a man - And not God, who alone ought to be worshipped, 4:10 . Have all his pretended successors attended to this?
