acts 10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. - Free Bible Online

acts 10:4 And fixing his gaze upon him and being much alarmed, he said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.


      4. What is it, Lord?--language which, tremulously though it was uttered, betokened childlike reverence and humility.
      Thy prayers and thine alms--The way in which both are specified is emphatic. The one denotes the spiritual outgoing of his soul to God, the other its practical outgoing to men.
      are come up for a memorial before God--that is, as a sacrifice well-pleasing unto God, as an odor of a sweet smell (Re 8:4).
