Why does Peter say he is only a man?

Actes 10:26 (NEG79)

26 Mais Pierre le releva, en disant: Lève-toi; moi aussi, je suis un homme.

Peter thinks that it is inappropriate for Cornelius to fall at his feet. He wants to make it clear that he is a man and does not seek to rob the true God of the honour that is due to him alone.1
