Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.--In the symbolism of the vision the natural promptings of appetite were confirmed by the divine voice. That which resisted both was the scruple of a hesitating conscience, not yet emancipated from its bondage to a ceremonial and therefore transitory law. It is natural to infer that the spiritual yearnings of Peter's soul were, in like manner, hungering and thirsting after a wider fellowship which should embrace "all manner" of the races that make up mankind, while, on the other hand, he was as yet waiting to be taught that the distinction between Jew and Gentile was done away in Christ.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekThenκαὶ (kai)ConjunctionStrong's 2532: And, even, also, namely. a voiceφωνὴ (phōnē)Noun - Nominative Feminine SingularStrong's 5456: Probably akin to phaino through the idea of disclosure; a tone; by implication, an address, saying or language.[spoke]ἐγένετο (egeneto)Verb - Aorist Indicative Middle - 3rd Person SingularStrong's 1096: A prolongation and middle voice form of a primary verb; to cause to be, i.e. to become, used with great latitude.toπρὸς (pros)PrepositionStrong's 4314: To, towards, with.
