"when Peter entered the house"

# bowed down at his feet to worship him

Although bowing was common in that culture, here Cornelius bowed to Peter as an act of worship. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])

# Stand up! I too am a man

This was a mild rebuke or correction to Cornelius not to worship Peter. AT: "Stop doing that! I am only a man, as you are"
