What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Wherefore also" - that they may not think the affair a breach of the law on his part, nor Cornelius suppose that because he was in a station of command therefore he had complied, but that they may ascribe all to God - "wherefore also I came without gainsaying as soon as I was sent for:" though not only to keep company, but even to come unto him was not permitted. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
"So I ask: for what purpose have you summoned me?" Peter had already heard everything from the soldiers, but he desired that they confess and become upright in the faith.
Oecumenius
Peter had already heard everything from the soldiers; but he wishes first that they confess, and to make them accountable in faith. [AMMONIUS]
