Acts 2:13 KJV

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 2:13

But others for others, A.V. ; they are filled with for these men are full of, A.V. New wine ; more literally, sweet wine. These mockers, men incapable of serious and devout appreciation of the work of the Holy Spirit, attributed the tension of feeling which they saw, and the unintelligible words which they heard, to the effect of wine. So Festus said," Paul, thou art mad." So the unbelieving Jews of Pontus and Asia thought it strange that the Christians should live holily, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 2:13

Others, mocking, said - The word rendered “mocking” means “to cavil, to deride.” It occurs in the New Testament in only one other place: Acts 17:32, “And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked.” This was an effect that was not confined to the day of Pentecost. There has seldom been a revival of religion, a remarkable manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit, that has not given occasion for profane mockery and merriment. One characteristic of wicked people is to deride... read more

And there were dwelling Or sojourning; in Jerusalem, Jews Now gathered from all parts, by the peculiar providence of God; devout Greek, ευλαβεις , pious men, from every nation under heaven Should this be taken for an hyperbole, we have other instances in Scripture of the like way of speaking; as where we read of cities walled up to heaven, Deuteronomy 1:28; and of the dread of the Jews falling upon every nation under the whole heaven, Deuteronomy 2:25.

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 2:13

Acts 2:13. These men are full of new wine.— Though there was no must or new wine at Pentecost, yet if they preserved the wine cool, it kept sweet a long time, and tasted like must. So Plutarch; "Must, if a vessel be kept in a cool place, will continue sweet, γλευκυ, for a long time." Such wines were remarkably intoxicating. See Isaiah 49:26. Sweet wine, such as the prophet there speaks of, was used in royal palaces for its gratefulness; was capable of being kept to a great age, and consequently... read more

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
