What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
"Having told them everything, he sent them to Joppa." Notice the absence of arrogance. He did not say "summon Peter to me," but told them everything, so as to thereby motivate him to come to him, because he considered it improper to summon him by virtue of his authority. That is why he told everything to those he sent.
Oecumenius
See the humility of his spirit. For he did not say, "Call Peter to me"; for he would not summon him in the name of rank. Therefore he recounted everything so as even to persuade: so modest was the man. Yet nothing of greatness could be conceived of a man who kept himself apart at the tannery. [AMMONIUS]
