Greek Commentary for Acts 10:19
Genitive absolute of present middle participle of dienthumeomai a double compound (dia and eṅ with thumos) and another hapax legomenon save in ecclesiastical writers, though enthumeomai is common enough and Textus Receptus so reads here. Peter was revolving in his mind, through and through, in and out, to find the meaning of the strange vision. [source]
Was earnestly ( διά ) pondering. [source]

A privative with compound adverb from anti (back, in return, against) and verbal rhētos (from errhēthēn to speak). Late and rare and here only in the N.T., but the adjective in Acts 19:36. Without answering back. That is true after the Holy Spirit expressly told Peter to go with the messengers of Cornelius (Acts 10:19-23). Peter‘s objections were made to the Lord in the vision which he did not understand. But that vision prepared him for this great step which he had now taken. He had stepped over the line of Jewish custom. [source]
Quadrupeds. Not beasts generally, nor wild beasts only. In Acts 28:4, Acts 28:5, the word is used of the viper which fastened on Paul's hand. In Peter's vision (Acts 10:19; Acts 11:6) there is a different classification from the one here; quadrupeds being denoted by a specific term, τετράποδα , four-footed creatures. There θηρία includes fishes, which in this passage are classed as ἐναλίων , things in the sea. [source]
