He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

The ninth hour of the day (3 P.M.; see the note at Acts 3:1) - the hour of the evening sacrifice and of evening prayer, according to the Jewish ritual. From Acts 10:30 it would appear that he had been fasting "until" this hour; beginning, possibly, from the previous season of prayer, the sixth hour, or noon (Acts 10:9).
An angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
