Acts 10:30

“And Cornelius said, etc.] The Syriac version adds, “to him”, to the apostle; the following he said, in a very submissive and humble manner: four days ago I was fasting unto this hour; in the Greek text it is, “from the fourth day unto this hour I was fasting”: which looks as if he had been fasting four days, and was still fasting at that hour; though the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions leave out the phrase “I was fasting”: but the sense which our version and others give is the truest; that four days ago, or reckoning four days back, Cornelius was fasting on that day, until such time in that day as now it was in this present day; and which perhaps might be the ninth hour, or three o’clock…”

“Four days ago--the messengers being despatched on the first; on the second reaching Joppa (Act 10:9); starting for CÃ&brvbrsarea on the third; and on the fourth arriving.”

“Four days ago - See the notes on Acts 10:23. Until this hour - The ninth hour, or three o’clock, p. m. See Acts 10:3. A man - Called, in Acts 10:3, an angel. He had the appearance of a man. Compare Mark 16:5. In bright clothing - See the notes on Matthew 28:3. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Four days ago I was fasting - The first of these days he had the vision; the second his messengers came to Joppa; on the third, St. Peter set out; and on the fourth, came to Cesarea. Acts 10:31”
