Μηδαμῶς : absit (LXX for חָלִילָה), 1 Samuel 20:2; 1 Samuel 22:15 (Weiss). Κύριε : Weiss refers to Acts 1:24, and takes it as meaning Jehovah, but others refer the expression here to Christ; the next verse shows us that there was still the same element of self-will in the Apostle which had misled the Peter of the Gospels. οὐδέποτε … πᾶν : the words of strong negation, characteristic of the vehement and impulsive Peter Hebraistic, cf. Exodus 20:10; Judges 13:4, and in N.T., Matthew 24:22; Luke 1:37; Romans 3:12; 1 Corinthians 1:29; Simcox, Language of the N. T., pp. 72, 73, and Blass, Gram., p. 174. κοινὸν = βέβηλος; 1Ma 1:62, opposed to ἅγιος, Leviticus 10:10, cf. Ezekiel 22:26, often used in N.T. for unclean, cf. Mark 7:2. ἀκάθαρτος, Leviticus 20:25, of clean and unclean animals; κοινός in 1 Macc. above is used, as ver. 63 shows, for defilement from meats.
