Others; viz. the scribes and Pharisees, and also the inhabitants of Jewry and Jerusalem; who not understanding the languages of other nations, might think the apostles did but babble, and talk idly or rudely, when they spake with other tongues. New wine, or sweet wine; which done, may inebriate; and might be had at that time, though the full vintage was not yet. read more
CRITICAL REMARKSActs 2:5. Dwelling at Jerusalem.—Not. “permanently residing” only, a sense the word usually has in Luke’s writings (Luke 1:19; Luke 4:16; Luke 13:4), but also “temporarily sojourning,” a meaning not excluded by the term, and apparently demanded by the context, which speaks of the multitude (Acts 2:6) as embracing “dwellers in Mesopotamia”—i.e., persons having their homes there, and “strangers of Rome”—i.e., Romans at the time sojourning in the city. Devout men.—Lit. cautious,... read more
Acts 2:1-13 Pentecost I. The congregation in that upper room was the representative, or, as it were, the seed-germ, of the whole Catholic Church of all the centuries and of every land. For a symbol of this, its world-wide significance, the little Church rehearsed the praises of redemption in all the tongues of all the lands over which God had scattered the tribes of Israel. This polyglot praise was the consecration of heathen speech to the service of Israel's Jehovah. It foreshadowed the... read more
Acts 2:0 We have here the history of the first Christian revival. Let us trace it through, and mark at once its origin and its characteristics. I. It was ushered in by prayer. Like true children of God, these first disciples waited and prayed, asking evermore, that they might receive the Holy Ghost according to His word. And herein they rebuke us dreadfully, for in our petitions we far too largely neglect the Holy Ghost. II. The revival began in the Church in the quickening and enlightening of... read more
Chapter 2Now when the day of Pentecost ( Acts 2:1 )This would be feast day following the Passover, of which Jesus was crucified. And fifty days after the Passover, the second major Jewish feast, the Feast of Pentecost, or the Feast of Ingathering. This is the time when they would gather the winter wheat, the winter grains that had been sown, and the early part of June; they're ready for harvest. The Feast of Pentecost was marked by them taking a portion of their field and harvesting it. Tying... read more
Acts 2:1 . The day of Pentecost. The fiftieth day after our Lord’s resurrection, and the day when the sheaf of the firstfruits was offered. Though the feast of Pentecost was but one day, yet like the passover, it was continued through all the week by a course of after services. See on Exodus 19:1. Acts 2:3 . There appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire. The prophet Ezekiel, in his vision of the chariot of Jehovah, twice names the fire or glory of the colour of amber: chap. 1.... read more
Acts 2:12-13And they were all amazed.--Whit Sunday, or what our Churches needNotice--I. Three things immediately preceding the outpouring of the Spirit--things which if not the direct cause of a revival, always herald it--the shadows cast by the coming blessing.1. A complete congregation. “They were all in one place.” No absentees. This betokened earnestness, for it was in fact an early Sunday morning prayer-meeting with every one present. Always before a great blessing there will be a revived... read more

And that mocker, Doctor Morgan, who being set to examine Mr Philpot, martyr, asked him, How know you that you have the Spirit of God? Philpot answered, By the faith of Christ which is in me. Ah, by faith, do you so? (quoth Morgan). I think it is the spirit of the buttery, which your fellows have had... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:5-13
Acts 2:5-1 Chronicles : . The Effect on Outsiders.— The visitation has taken place in a house, but the noise is heard, not the speaking with tongues, all over the town; a crowd collects, made up of pious and thoughtful men, Jews of various lands, now dwelling at Jerusalem. Guided to the spot they stayed there in wonder, because each of them heard these Galileans, men of rude dialect, speaking the language of the country to which he belonged. The following catalogue of countries or of peoples... read more
