What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"He called them in, and lodged them." Good, that first he gives the men friendly treatment, after the fatigue of their journey, and makes them at home with him; "and on the morrow," sets out with them. And certain accompany him: this too as Providence ordered it, that they should be witnesses afterwards when Peter would need to justify himself. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
"To call you into his house." Not out of a feeling of contempt, they say, did he send, but because he was so commanded. Therefore, do not disregard it: it is good that Peter first treats these men in a friendly manner, since they were weary, and thus wins them over to himself. And that some from Joppa went with him, this happened by divine providence, so that afterwards they might be witnesses when Peter needed to defend himself.
