Rise.
Acts 10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
Jeremiah 35:2-5 Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers...
John 4:31-34 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat...
kill. Or, sacrifice and eat, [thusia kai phago.] The spirit of the heavenly direction seems to be this, say Dr. A. Clarke, 'The middle wall of the partition is now pulled down; the Jews and Gentiles are called to become one flock, under one shepherd and bishop of souls. Thou, Peter, shalt open the door of faith to the Gentiles, and be also the minister of the circumcision. Rise up; already a blessed sacrifice is prepared: go and offer it to God; and let thy soul feed on the fruits of his mercy,' etc.
