Commentary on Acts 10:3

Theological / Devotional

A vision. Greek horama, “that which is seen,” and particularly, as here, of a view that is divinely granted. The phrase “in a vision” may also be translated, “in vision.”

Evidently. Greek phanerds, “clearly,” “distinctly,” “manifestly,” “apparently.”

Ninth hour. This was the afternoon hour of prayer at the Temple. Apparently Cornelius had adopted the Jewish hours of prayer, as he was praying when the vision was given him.
