Acts 2:13
Compare all
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.  
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘Anda it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
bThat I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and cyour daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams. 
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
aAnd they shall prophesy. 
19 aI will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

<< Acts 2:12   Acts 2:14 >>


Acts 2:13

But others mocking - The world begins with mocking, thence proceeds to cavilling, Acts 4:7; to threats, Acts 4:17; to imprisoning, Acts 5:18; blows, Acts 5:40; to slaughter, Acts 7:58. These mockers appear to have been some of the natives of Judea, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, (who understood only the dialect of the country,) by the apostle's immediately directing his discourse to them in the next verse. They are full of sweet wine - So the Greek word properly signifies. There was no new wine so early in the year as pentecost. Thus natural men are wont to ascribe supernatural things to mere natural causes; and many times as impudently and unskilfully as in the present case.
