使徒行伝 2:6-8 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:1-13

The unity of the Spirit. If, with the idea of unity in our minds, we read this description of the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church, we cannot but be struck with the manner in which that great idea is exhibited and illustrated. I. There is first THE LOCAL UNITY OF THE CHURCH . They were all together in one place. Many in number, but all of that many come together; drawn by one common impulse to merge their separate existences, their various pursuits, their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:1-13

The coming of God in power. The ascended Savior was about to come in mighty power to the disciples. They were in Jerusalem, "waiting for the promise of the Father;" doubtless they had no anticipation of the way in which that promise would be fulfilled, and must have been struck with the utmost awe and wonder when they found themselves wrought upon with such Divine energies. Our thought is directed to— I. THE MANIFESTED PRESENCE OF GOD . God revealed his presence through the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:1-41

The day of Pentecost, and its immediate gifts. " And when the day of Pentecost … And the same day there were added about three thousand souls." The day of Pentecost is emphatically the complement of the great days of the New Testament. The visible glories of this day are the fitting sequel, the almost natural sequel, of the more veiled glories of certain days that had preceded it. The heavenly luster and music of the day of incarnation, unique as they were, reached the eye and ear of but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:5-13

The amazement of the multitude. I. WONDER IS CAUSED BY ANY BREAK IN THE REGULAR ORDER AND CUSTOM OF THE WORLD . It is so in the kingdom of nature, and here in that of spirit. The country-folk of Galilee were least of all likely to acquire the power to speak the tongues of nations with which they were seldom or never in contact. And here unlettered men are found speaking the tongues of ancient and cultivated peoples. It is a type and prophecy of what the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:5-13

Spiritual facts in a world unprepared to receive them. I. DEVOUT MEN may still be living at a very low point of spiritual apprehension and experience ( Acts 2:5 ). To many conscientious and sober-minded people the manifestations of the Spirit a perplexity. Hence the importance of a progressive faith, a praying and expectant attitude. Religion apt to grow stagnant and perfunctory. II. The MULTITUDE will be startled by that which comes from heaven. They need to be roused and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:5-13

Men's attitudes toward things beyond explanation. There are marked differences in the dispositions of men. At first sight the differences may seem to be so many and so great, that it is hopeless to attempt any classification of them. And yet, in the relations in which dispositions stand to revealed truth and the mysterious, there is a simple division, and a repetition of characteristic attitudes in each age. Observe the peculiar phenomena here, which tested the dispositions of the crowding... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:6

And when this sound ( φωνή ) was heard for now when this was noised abroad A.V., which the words cannot mean; speaking for speak, A.V. This sound . The question still remains whether the sound ( φωνή ) refers to the sound ( ἤχος ) of the rushing mighty wind mentioned in Acts 2:2 , or to the voices of those who spake with tongues. If the last, we should rather have expected sounds or voices in the plural; and it is further in favor of the former that μενῆς... read more

Saying for saying one to another, A.V. and T.R. Amazed ( ἐξίσταντο ; see Acts 8:9 , note). Galilaeans ; describing merely their nationality. The Galilaean accent was peculiar and well known. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:8

Language for tongue, A.V. Language ( διαλέκτῳ , as in Acts 1:19 ). It only occurs in the New Testament in the Acts, and may mean either language or dialect. Here it is properly rendered language, and is synonymous with γλώσσαις in verse 11. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 2:6

When this was noised abroad - When the rumor of this remarkable transaction was spread, as it naturally would be.Were confounded - συνεχύθη sunechuthē̄. The word used here means literally “to pour together,” hence, “to confound, confuse.” It is used:(a)Of an assembly or multitude thrown into confusion, Acts 21:27;(b)Of the mind as perplexed or confounded, as in disputation, Acts 9:22; and,(c)Of persons in amazement or consternation, as in this place. They did not understand this; they could... read more
