Acts 10:18

Acts 10:18

16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

Summoned to Caesarea

17 Now while Peter¹ wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate.

18 And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.

19 While Peter thought about the vision, ^athe Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you.

20 ^aArise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”

21 Then Peter went down to the men¹ who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”

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.
