A Year in Luke/ActsSample

In Luke’s narrative, he repeats important events to make sure the reader understands their significance. For example, Saul’s conversion is repeated two more times in addition to Acts 9 (Acts 22:5-21 and 26:9-18), and there are multiple retellings of the story of Jesus throughout. It is significant, then, that the account we are studying in Acts 10 is repeated three times in Acts (10:1-48, 11:4-17, 15:7-9). (see Keener, p293, Acts)
This is because Cornelius and his household represent Gentiles being filled with the Spirit and baptized. As a Roman centurion, Cornelius is also a symbol of the oppression that the Jews found themselves under. His acceptance of Jesus is a pointer to where the whole narrative of Luke is heading: from Jerusalem to Rome.
