What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
But observe what is said of him by the soldier whom Cornelius sent: "A just man, and one that feareth God": and then - for fearing lest Peter should refuse to come to him, as being a Gentile, he adds this - "and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews." Why then, there is nothing like alms; or rather great is the virtue of this thing.
Theophylact of Ohrid
And the messengers spoke praises of Cornelius in order to convince Peter that an Angel had appeared to him. Authority over the people is in the hands of a pious man who by his own merits has proven worthy of it. True, it does happen that those who hold power do not live up to their position; but if this were not the case, then what would there be to talk about?
