10:4 ενωπιον ¦ εμπροσθεν CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
10:1-8 a Roman army officer: Literally a centurion, the highest-ranking non-commissioned officer in the Roman army, in command of a century, a subdivision of roughly 100 men. Luke often describes centurions in favorable terms (10:22; 21:32; 22:25-26; 23:17, 23; 27:6, 11, 43; 28:16; Luke 7:1-10; 23:47). It was important for Luke to show that Christianity was not hostile to Roman officials or institutions and could, like Judaism, be permitted in the Roman Empire (see Acts Book Introduction, “Purposes of Acts: Politics”).
• a captain of the Italian Regiment: A regiment included six centuries; a Roman legion was usually divided into ten regiments. The New Testament mentions the Italian Regiment and the Imperial Regiment (Acts 27:1).

ὁ δὲ, ἀτενίσας αὐτῷ
he and /having/_looked_intently ˱at˲_him
The pronoun he stands for Cornelius, and the pronoun him stands for the angel. Alternate translation: “But Cornelius, staring at the angel”
Note 2 topic: writing-politeness
τί ἐστιν, κύριε
what ˱it˲_is lord
Cornelius uses the respectful title lord because he recognizes that he is speaking to a messenger from God. See how you translated the similar term in 9:5.
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ
said ˱he˲_said and ˱to˲_him

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
αἱ προσευχαί σου, καὶ αἱ ἐλεημοσύναι σου, ἀνέβησαν εἰς μνημόσυνον ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ Θεοῦ
the prayers ˱of˲_you and the alms ˱of˲_you went_up for /a/_memorial before ¬the God
A memorial offering was the portion of an offering brought to the priests for their support that was burned on the altar as a pleasing aroma for God, to give God an occasion to remember the worshiper. The angel is using this offering to tell Cornelius that God is aware of his devotion and generosity and that God is pleased with those things. You could translate this metaphor as a simile, or you could explain its meaning. Alternate translation: “Your prayers and your alms have gone up like a memorial offering before God” or “God is aware of your prayers and your alms, and he is pleased with them”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ Θεοῦ
before ¬the God
Here, before means “in the presence of.” Alternate translation: “into the presence of God”
