“And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;”
King James Version (KJV)
10:8 A devout soldier - How many such attendants have our modern officers? A devout soldier would now be looked upon as little better than a deserter from his colours.
Ac 10:7 Two of his household servants, and a devout soldier. The first were his personal servants. the second his military household; all, no doubt, "devout" (see PNT "Ac 10:2").
