The Roman centurion who called Peter to preach to his household was Cornelius. He is described in the New Testament, specifically in the Book of Acts (Acts 10), where he is depicted as a devout man who feared God and prayed regularly. God instructed him to send for Peter, which ultimately led to the first major outreach to Gentiles in the early Christian church. Peter's visit to Cornelius marked a significant moment in the spread of Christianity beyond Jewish communities.

What is significant about the centurion's proclamation when Jesus died?

A:The centurion is said to have exclaimed, "Truly this man was the Son of God," although perhaps sarcastically, when Jesus died (Mark 15:39). In Mark's Gospel, Jesus referred to himself as the Son of Man, and Peter called him the Christ ('anointed one'). To have called Jesus the Son of God might have been considered blasphemous when Mark was written, but the demons and the centurion, as outsiders, could call do so because their statements would not bring the Christian community into disrepute. Perhaps fifteen years later, Matthew's Gospel could use the term Son of God quite freely and sarcasm was no longer evident in the centurion's statement.

Was Peter welcome to preach in Jerusalem?

The evidence is mixed. There were several competing sects of Judaism in the first century CE, as well as wandering preachers who gathered groups of followers, although those groups never achieved the size or longevity to be called sects. Since Christianity was considered at that stage to be another sect of Judaism, there should have been no bar to Peter preaching Christianity in Jerusalem. Paul, in his epistles, also portrays the Jerusalem church as being at peace with mainstream Jews. However, Acts tells us that Peter was persecuted by the leaders of the two dominant sects, for preaching in Jerusalem. On this evidence, Peter was not welcome to preach in Jerusalem.
