ACTS 10:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,”
Cornelius answered: 'Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me'—Cornelius's narration begins with temporal precision ('three days ago,' echoing resurrection language) and the prayer hour (3 PM, the temple sacrifice hour). The 'man in shining clothes' (anēr...lampros) echoes resurrection appearances; the angel bears resurrection's light. Cornelius testifies to what he saw and heard, laying groundwork for Peter's proclamation.
