Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

For these are not drunken ... - The word these here includes Peter himself, as well as the others. The charge doubtless extended to all. The third hour of the day - The Jews divided their day into twelve equal parts, reckoning from sunrise to sunset. Of course the hours were longer in summer than in winter. The third hour would correspond to our nine o’clock in the morning. The reasons why it was so improbable that they would be drunk at that time were the following: (1) It was the hour of morning worship, or sacrifice.
