ACTS 10:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,”
He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.—Peter's hunger (prospeinas, 'became hungry') establishes his embodied humanity; he is no disembodied spirit but a man with physical needs. The transition from hunger to trance suggests that bodily need opens him to spiritual vision; the physical becomes the gateway to the spiritual. The 'falling into a trance' (ekstasis, ecstasy) indicates a state of consciousness transcendent to normal waking.
