ACTS 10:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:”
About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.—Peter's prayer timing (noon, midday) parallels the standard Jewish prayer hours. The roof (dōma, a flat Mediterranean roof) was a common place of prayer, exposure, and vision (as in Philip's transport and Paul's Macedonian call). The setting is liminal: between city and heaven, between routine and revelation.
