Acts 10:10

"and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into. trance"Became hungry" Intensely hungry or very hungry. The people in the first century world generally ate two meals. day. "The first of these was taken about 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning, and consisted of fruit, milk, and cheese. The principal meal was then eaten about. or. in the evening" (Reese p. 384). Thus "lunch" is about. hours late and Peter is extremely hungry. "While they made ready" While lunch was being prepared downstairs. "He fell into. trance" We should observe that this trace was not artificially induced. Peter had not tried to get into such. state, but rather, such. state supernaturally came upon him.
