Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Called (fwnhsantev). In a loud voice that those inside the house might hear.
Asked (epunqanonto). Imperfect middle of punqanomai, old verb to make inquiry especially with an indirect question as here. Kept on inquiring. Westcott and Hort follow B C here and read epuqonto (second aorist middle, effective aorist). Either makes sense, though the imperfect is more picturesque.
Were lodging (cenizetai). Present middle indicative retained in indirect question. See on verse Acts 10:6 for the verb.
