Now on for on, A.V.; were for went, A.V. The house top ; the quietest and most retired place in an Eastern house. It is not inconsistent with this that the hour-top could also be made a place of special publicity, from its height and open space (see Luke 12:3 ). About the sixth hour . Noon, the second of the three hours of prayer among the Jews, called "the midday prayer." The last was the ninth hour ( Acts 3:1 ) and the first the third hour, nine in the morning ( Acts 2:15 ... read more

(or Acts 10:15 ) The light of heaven on the open gate of a new world. Review the preparations made for the revelation to be now vouchsafed. The teaching of Christ. His commission to his apostles. Stephen; Paul; Samaria. Peter's charge of the key. His visit to Joppa. His mind probably already at work on the problem. I. THE TWO WORLDS FACE TO FACE —the heathen and the Jewish, both the scene of spiritual manifestations. The two streams of grace flowing, ready to commingle in... read more

The ecstasy and vision of Peter. I. THE ATTITUDE OF PRAYER , HOW constantly is the act and the habit of prayer mentioned in the course of this history—on the part of the community and on the part of individuals! Peter and Cornelius, the Jew and the Gentile, are in communion with God at the same moment; and it is thus shown that true fellowship between man and man on earth is conditioned by fellowship with God. Souls far apart in space are near and at one by means of this mystic... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 10:9-48

Man in God's sight; or, Divine impartiality. The incident of the conversion of Cornelius is suggestive of some important truths, but of one in particular, viz. the perfectness of the Divine impartiality. We look first, however, at— I. THE PART OF THE PHYSICAL IN THE APPREHENSION OF THE SPIRITUAL . Peter went up to pray ( Acts 10:9 ); but he was very hungry and desired bodily refreshment ( Acts 10:10 ). This state of body was probably favorable to his "falling... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 10:10

Hungry for very hungry, A.V.; desired to eat for would have eaten, A.V. Hungry . The word so rendered ( πρόσπεινος ) occurs nowhere else either in the New Testament or in any other writer. Possibly he, like Cornelius ( Acts 10:30 ), had been fasting till the time of prayer. A trance ( ἔκστασις ) expresses a state of transition from the ordinary state into a new or different state. Applied to a man, it denotes that state in which the external senses and the volition are... read more

He beholdeth the for saw, A.V.; descending for descending unto him, A.V. and T.R.; were for had been, A.V.; let down by four corners upon the earth for knit at the four corners and let down to the earth, A.V. and T.R. The vessel coming down from the open heavens implied that the command to eat what was contained in it was given by revelation. The things sent were from God, and the command to eat was from God. Peter's hunger had prepared the way for the particular form of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 10:12

Beasts and creeping things of the earth for beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, A.V. and T.R.; heaven for air, A.V. The distinction between clean and unclean was very sharply drawn in the Levitical Law ( Leviticus 11:1-47 .; see especially Leviticus 11:41-44 and Leviticus 20:25 ; Deuteronomy 14:3-20 ). Peter's astonishment must, therefore, have been exceeding great at the command to slay and eat. And so his answer in Acts 10:14 shows. And yet our Lord... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 10:14

And unclean for or unclean, A.V. and T.R. It is rather a striking testimony to Peter's religious character as a Jew before his call to the apostolate, that, poor Galilaean fisherman as he was, unlearned and ignorant, he had yet always conscientiously obeyed the Law of Moses in regard to things clean and unclean (comp. Daniel 1:8-15 ). The address, Lord ( κύριε ), seems certainly to recognize the voice as that of Christ, which also agrees with the descent of the vessel from heaven.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 10:14-15

Nothing common in God's sight. Introduce by an account of St. Peter's vision, observing how it affected the mind of one who was so thoroughly imbued with Jewish notions. In our Lord's time the laws of the clean and unclean were scrupulously observed, and the apostles had not yet realized how the new spirit of Christ's kingdom was to set them free from the bondages and the limitations of the Jewish ceremonial. God would, by this vision, correct two of the prevailing mistakes. 1. That... read more
