19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

Ver. 19. While Peter thought on] διενθυμουμενου, Gr. thought in his mind; cogitabat quasi coagitabat. He was busily plodding, and the Spirit came in to help him. Divine meditation is a studious act of the mind, searching the knowledge of a hidden truth, by the discourse of reason. Or, it is a steadfast and earnest bending of the mind upon some heavenly matter, for the settling of our judgments and bettering of our heart and lives.
