Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 3:1

NOw Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer , being the ninth hour .

Not to communicate with the Iews in their worship, which was now antiquated; but that they might have a larger field to sow the seed of the Gospel into, and therefore it was most probably, upon some Sabbath or Festival-day; and not unlikely in the evening of that great day of Pentecost, (of which in the former Chapter)

That God must be worshipped, and daily prayed [illegible: 1 word]; the Law of Nature, and positive Law of God requires: but says M[illegible: 2 letters] mon, there is no obligation by virtue of any command of God, unto any number of prayers, nor to any certain prayers, nor to any definite time of prayer: Howsoever, they did usually pray thrice a day, and thought each of those three times recommended unto them by one of the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Iacob. Howsoever, the time of offering up the morning and evening Sacrifice, was recommended or commanded by God, as a time of prayer. A Sacrifice being an actual prayer, as the other is real or verbal.

About three a clock in the afternoon, the time of the evening Sacrifice.
