SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:18
Y llamando, preguntaron si un Simn que tenía por sobrenombre Pedro, posaba allí.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And called, and asked , etc.] That is, they called to the people of the house, Simons family; and in a civil and courteous manner asked them, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter ; which they said to distinguish him from Simon the master of the house, and as Cornelius was directed, and they were instructed by him: concerning him they inquired, whether he were lodged there ; the Ethiopic version adds, without any foundation for it, and the place where they called at was Peters lodging room.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-18 - The prejudices of Peter against the Gentiles, would have prevented his going to Cornelius, unless the Lord had prepared him for this service To tell a Jew that God had directed those animals to be reckoned clea which were hitherto deemed unclean, was in effect saying, that the la of Moses was done away. Peter was soon made to know the meaning of it God knows what services are before us, and how to prepare us; and we know the meaning of what he has taught us, when we find what occasio we have to make use of it.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
18. Called. A general summons to anyone within, in order to make inquiries.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
10:18 {Called} (fwnesantes). In a loud voice that those inside the house might hear. {Asked} (epunqanonto). Imperfect middle of punqanomai, old verb to make inquiry especially with an indirect question as here. Kept on inquiring. Westcott and Hort follow B C here and read epuqonto (second aorist middle, effective aorist). Either makes sense, though the imperfect is more picturesque. {Were lodging} (xenizetai). Present middle indicative retained in indirect question. See on verse 6 for the verb.
