The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:14-36

The Spirit speaking through the voice of an apostle. Notice— I. The SIMPLICITY AND DIRECTNESS of the sermon; beginning with the facts of the present, going back to the facts of the past, and ending in the solemn appeal to enter the kingdom of Christ. II. The SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY on which it rests. The ancient promise of Messiah; the glory of the latter days; the prophetic psalms;—thus showing that the unbelief of those who despised that day of grace was inexcusable. ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 2:14-42

Peter’s preaching (2:14-42)Seeing the people’s interest, Peter addressed them, this time speaking in his normal language. His address shows some features of the early apostolic preaching. First he quoted from the Old Testament, to show that the Pentecost events fulfilled what the prophets foretold.
