Cornelius' Vision 3

7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. 8 He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.

9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.



Act 10:8
He . . . sent them to Joppa—Perhaps not that evening, since it was at the ninth hour, or three o'clock in the afternoon, when Cornelius had the vision; and some time must be taken up in discourse with the angel, and afterwards in sending for his servants, and relating the affair to them, and giving them their proper instructions. So that it may be they did not set out till early the next morning, as seems from the following verse.

Act 10:10
He became hungry and wanted something to eat, [eethelen geusasthai]—Rather, 'wished to eat.' It was meal-time, indeed; but his being "hungry" [prospeinos] was no doubt a special preparation for what was to follow.
