使徒行傳 2:5-6 CUNPTS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 2:1-13

The church is born (2:1-13)Pentecost was a Jewish harvest festival held on the Sunday fifty days after Passover, when Israelites presented the first portion of their harvest to God (Leviticus 23:15-21). It was therefore a fitting day to mark the birth of the Christian church. Christ, the true Passover had been sacrificed (1 Corinthians 5:7), and now fifty days later God poured out his Spirit on that small group of disciples who were to become the first members of the church of Jesus Christ.In... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 2:5

Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language.Heard them speaking in his own language ... Some have understood the miracle to have been in the hearers, as in Harrison's comment:This is not the language of religious ecstasy. By a miracle, the language of the apostles was translated by the Holy Spirit into many... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 2:5

Acts 2:5. There were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, &c.— There were sojourning, &c. κατοικουντες . Devout or pious men, is a title applied not only to those religious persons who observed the Jewish law, but likewise to those Heathens who had renounced idolatry, and lived a life of piety and holiness. From every nation under heavencan signify no more than "from all the several nations among whom the Jews were dispersed." The Jews were then so numerous, as to have spread through every... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 2:6

Acts 2:6. Every man heard them speak, &c.— Some commentators of note, both antient and modern, have maintained that they spoke only one language, that is, Hebrew, or Syro-Chaldaic; but that the people heard them every one in their own language. This is really making the miracle consist in the hearing, and not in the speaking, and seems so groundless, that it does not need any laboured confutation. Our Saviour promised, Mar 16:17 that they should speak with new tongues, &c. And St. Luke... read more

5-11. there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men out of every nation—not, it would seem, permanently settled there (see :-), though the language seems to imply more than a temporary visit to keep this one feast. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 2:1-41

5. The birth of the church 2:1-41The Holy Spirit’s descent on the day of Pentecost inaugurated a new dispensation in God’s administration of the human race. [Note: For more information about the dispensations, see Charles C. Ryrie, Dispensationalism Today, or idem, Dispensationalism.] Luke featured the record of the events of this day to explain the changes in God’s dealings with humankind that followed in the early church and to the present day. This was the birthday of the church. Many... read more

A. The founding of the church 1:1-2:47In his account of the founding of the Christian church Luke gave background information that ties Jesus’ giving of the Great Commission to the day of Pentecost. He showed how Jesus enabled His disciples to obey His command to evangelize the nations. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 2:5-6

The Jews living in Jerusalem were probably people from the Diaspora (dispersion, residing outside the land of Palestine) who had returned to settle down in the Jewish homeland. Luke’s other uses of katoikountes ("living") are in Acts 1:20; Acts 7:2; Acts 7:4; Acts 7:48; Acts 9:22; Acts 11:29; Acts 13:27; Acts 17:24; Acts 17:26; and Acts 22:12, and these suggest permanence compared with epidemeo ("sojourning") in Acts 2:10."It was . . . customary for many pious Jews who had spent their lives... read more
