Not of his body, but of his mind; for this was only in vision presented to him, when he was as Paul was, not knowing whether in the body or out of it:<\/p>\n I considered<\/strong>: being intent upon this object, he considered in his mind what it was, and what it should mean; it being something strange and unusual; which came down from heaven, and out of it, and came so close and near to him, that it engrossed all his thoughts, and was the subject of deep meditation:<\/p>\n and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air<\/strong>; not pourtrayed upon the sheet, but standing or walking upon it; the Syriac Version leaves out, “the wild beasts”; and the Ethiopic versions, “the creeping things”; but both are in the Greek copies, and in other versions.<\/p>\n When I had fastened my eyes <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>). This personal touch Peter adds from his own experience.

Upon the sheet-vessel appeared all these animal or blood-life creatures for a mighty feast to which Peter was invited, Act 10:12-13<\/span>.<\/p>\n (6) Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered.<\/strong>Here again we trace the same kind of vividness as in the previous verse. The Apostle recalls the intense eager gaze with which he had looked on the strange vision.<\/p>\n Act 11:6<\/span> . , cf.<\/em> Act 7:31-32<\/span> , Mat 7:3<\/span> , Luk 6:41<\/span> , R.V., etc., the seeing is the result of the considering “ contemplabar<\/em> singula, effectus comprehenditur aoristo” . : not specially mentioned in Act 10:12<\/span> (see critical notes), but there precedes .<\/p>\n Upon = Unto.

This, again, is an addition of value, both because of the animation it communicates to this narrative, and because the argument is strengthened by the fact that he deliberately inspected and reflected on what he saw in the trance.<\/p>\n And wild beasts. It has been noted above (on Act 10:12), that according to the true reading, this belongs to St. Peters own statement only. It adds to the emphasis of the surprise felt by him on contemplating a multitude of all kinds of animals, and hearing a command giving sanction for his eating of them indiscriminately.<\/p>\n See notes one verse 4<\/p>\n Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 6.
