SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:46
Porque los oían que hablaban en lenguas, y que magnificaban a Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 10:46
Verse 46. And magnify God.] They had got new hearts as well as new tongues; and, having believed with the heart unto righteousness, their tongues made confession unto salvation; and God was magnified for the mercy which he had imparted.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 46. For they heard them speak with tongues , etc.] With divers tongues, which they had never learned, and before did not understand: and magnify God; they spoke of the wonderful works of God in these languages, as the apostles did at Pentecost, ( Acts 2:11) they spoke greatly in the praise of God, and gave thanks for his rich grace and mercy bestowed on them: then answered Peter ; as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 44-48 - The Holy Ghost fell upon others after they were baptized, to confir them in the faith; but upon these Gentiles before they were baptized to show that God does not confine himself to outward signs. The Holy Ghost fell upon those who were neither circumcised nor baptized; it is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. They magnifie God, and spake of Christ and the benefits of redemption. Whatever gif we are endued with, we ought to honour God with it. The believing Jew who were present, were astonished that the gift of the Holy Ghost wa poured out upon the Gentiles also. By mistaken notions of things, we make difficult for ourselves as to the methods of Divine providence an grace. As they were undeniably baptized with the Holy Ghost, Pete concluded they were not to be refused the baptism of water, and the ordinance was administered. The argument is conclusive; can we deny the sign to those who have received the things signified? Those who have some acquaintance with Christ, cannot but desire more. Even those wh have received the Holy Ghost, must see their need of daily learnin more of the truth __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
10:46 {They heard} (ekouon). Imperfect active, were hearing, kept on hearing. {Speak} (lalountwn). Present active participle, speaking, for they kept it up. {With tongues} (glwssais). Instrumental case as in #2:4,11 which see. The fuller statement there makes it clear that here it was new and strange tongues also as in #19:6; 1Co 14:4-19. this sudden manifestation of the Holy Spirit's power on uncircumcised Gentiles was probably necessary to convince Peter and the six brethren of the circumcision that God had opened the door wide to Gentiles. It was proof that a Gentile Pentecost had come and Peter used it effectively in his defence in Jerusalem (#Ac 11:15).
