This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

2. ὥσπερ φερομένης πνοῆς βιαίας. Literally ‘as of a mighty wind borne along,’ i.e. as of the rushing of a mighty wind. The verb here employed to express the rushing of the wind is used by St Peter (2 Eph 1:17-18) of ‘the voice which came from heaven’ at the Transfiguration, also (Act 1:21) of the gift of prophecy, and the motion of the prophets by the Holy Ghost.
