This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 10:11. Τὸν οὐρανὸν, the heaven) The vessel was not only lifted up from the earth into heaven, but was first let down from heaven. Therefore the reception of the Gentiles into heaven presupposes the first origin of man to be heavenly (from heaven). And in heaven first are the types of the things which are afterwards made on earth for the salvation of men: comp. Heb 8:5.-σκεῦος, a vessel) a napkin.-τέσσαρσιν, at the four) corresponding to the same number of quarters of the world.-ἀρχαῖς, corners or extremities) These were not tied together in one knot, but were severally (separately) let down from heaven: ch. Act 11:5.
