'State' in the Bible

Then he became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing something, he went into a visionary state.

“I was in the town of Joppa praying, and I saw, in a visionary state, an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners from heaven, and it came to me.

“After I came back to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple complex, I went into a visionary state

When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you right away. I also ordered his accusers to state their case against him in your presence.

Either let these men here state what wrongdoing they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,

In that state He also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison

For if, having escaped the world’s impurity through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these things and defeated, the last state is worse for them than the first.
