This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 2:1. Ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι, whilst the day of Pentecost was being completed [“When the day of Pentecost was fully come”]) Many fulfilments of predictions met together at one and the same time.-τῆς Πεντηκοστῆς, of Pentecost) This term is not found in the LXX. transl., but it does occur in Tob 2:1; 2Ma 12:32. The Sinaitic Pentecost in the Old Testament, and the Jerusalem Pentecost of the New Testament, have connected with them the two clearest manifestations of God, exceeding all others by far, and raised above every objection of atheists, viz. that of the law and that of the Gospel, Psa 68:8; Psa 68:10; that from the mount and that from heaven (Heb 12:18-25); that one which was accompanied with terrors, and that which is full of mercy.-ἅπαντες ὁμοθύμαδον ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ, all with one accord in the same place) There was a oneness (a conjunction) in respect of fellowship (association), minds, and place. As to who were the persons, and what they did (were engaged about), see ch. Act 1:14-15. Not only were there the apostles, but also the others.
