Acts 2:4
Compare all
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it afilled the whole house where they were sitting.  
3 Then there appeared to them1 divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.  
4 And athey were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began bto speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  

The Crowd’s Response

5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, adevout men, from every nation under heaven.  
6 And when this sound occurred, the amultitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.  
7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak aGalileans?  
8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own1 language in which we were born?  
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and aCappadocia, Pontus and Asia,  
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”  
12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”
13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”

Peter’s Sermon

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, asince it is only the third hour of the day.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Acts 2:3   Acts 2:5 >>


Acts 2:4

And they began to speak with other tongues - The miracle was not in the ears of the hearers, (as some have unaccountably supposed,) but in the mouth of the speakers. And this family praising God together, with the tongues of all the world, was an earnest that the whole world should in due time praise God in their various tongues. As the Spirit gave them utterance - Moses, the type of the law, was of a slow tongue; but the Gospel speaks with a fiery and flaming one.
