28 Then he said to them, “You know how ^aunlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But ^bGod has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

29 Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”

30 So Cornelius said,¹ “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, ^aa man stood before me ^bin bright clothing,

31 and said, ‘Cornelius, ^ayour prayer has been heard, and ^byour alms are remembered in the sight of God.

32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.¹ When he comes, he will speak to you.’

33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”

Acts 10:30

Four days ago I was fasting until this hour - It was then about three o' clock in the afternoon; and it appears that Cornelius had continued his fasts from three o' clock the preceding day to three o' clock the day following; not that he had fasted four days together, as some supposes for even if he did fast four days consecutively, he ate one meal on each day. It is however necessary to remark that the word Ϛ , fasting is wanting in ABC, one other; the Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian, and Vulgate; but it has not been omitted in any edition of the Greek Testament.
