This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
very hungry. Greek. prospeinos. Only here.
would have eaten = wished (Greek. ethelo. App-102.) to eat.
eaten. Greek. geuomai, to taste (food understood). Always trans, "taste", except in Acts, here, Act_20:11; Act_23:14.
he fell, &c. Literally a trance (Greek. ekstasis) fell upon him. The texts read "came upon him". Ekstasis is sometimes translated "amazement", as in Act_3:10. It is akin to existemi (Act_2:7; Act_8:9, &c). This was not an objective vision, as in the ease of Cornelius.
