Handelingen 10:3 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:3

He saw in a vision evidently
He was not in a dream, or in a trance, but he was thoroughly awake, and his eyes open, and was himself; it was not in the night, but in clear day:

about the ninth hour of the day;
or three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hour of prayer, ( Acts 3:1 ) in which exercise he was now engaged, ( Acts 10:30 ) at this time he saw

an angel of God coming to him;
into the room where he was at prayer:

and saying unto him, Cornelius;
he called him by his name, to let him know that he knew him, as angels are very knowing spirits; and to express his affection and friendship to him, and that he was a messenger, not of bad, but of good news to him; as well as to engage his attention to him; for he might be so intent at his devotion, that had he not called him by name, he would not have minded him.

Handelingen 10:3 In-Context

1 En er was een zeker man te Cesarea, met name Cornelius, een hoofdman over honderd, uit de bende, genaamd de Italiaanse;
2 Godzalig en vrezende God, met geheel zijn huis, en doende vele aalmoezen aan het volk, en God geduriglijk biddende.
3 Deze zag in een gezicht klaarlijk, omtrent de negende ure des daags, een engel Gods tot hem inkomen, en tot hem zeggende: Cornelius!
4 En hij, de ogen op hem houdende, en zeer bevreesd geworden zijnde, zeide: Wat is het Heere? En hij zeide tot hem: Uw gebeden en uw aalmoezen zijn tot gedachtenis opgekomen voor God.
5 En nu, zend mannen naar Joppe, en ontbied Simon, die toegenaamd wordt Petrus.
