Hechos 2:5-24 RVA

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:12-21

I. Peter’s first answer to the question of Acts 2:12-21. This is the predicted inauguration of the Church of the Spirit, Acts 2:16-18; by wonderful omens is heralded this notable day, Acts 2:19-21. Peter is now not only an expounder of prophecy, but an empowered and inspired prophet. His comment, and even his variations, are of an equal authority with the original text. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:13

13. Others mocking Those who asked What meaneth this? spoke in solemn sympathy with, as well as amazement at, the scene. But there was another quite different set, who have had their like in all generations, of worldly, irreligious mockers. The former class are said to be all; that is, all the devout foreign residers in Jerusalem; while these others are more likely to be Palestinian Jews, either profane in character or bigoted Judaists, and so hostile to Christianity. Out of... read more

2. Second Speech of Peter that at Pentecost. Acts 2:14-40 . 14. Men… dwell Of course, during the Pentecost the men of Judea were gathered to the capital. We have, indeed, present several classes of persons more or less mingling Palestinian Jews, foreign Jews, devout residents and mockers. read more

15. Not drunken Base and preposterous as their ribaldry was, Peter replies with a most elevated calmness of denial. The third hour Eight or nine o’clock, the Jewish hour of morning prayer, when none but profligates, as no one supposed these to be, were drunken. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:16

16. This is that This wonderful manifestation is the (or a) fulfilment of the ancient predictions of the prophets, especially of Joel 2:28-32, that the age of the Messiah should be the dispensation of the Spirit. This inaugural effusion is the earnest, nevertheless, of future still more widespread and powerful effusions which are yet to be the characteristics of the last days. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:17

17. The last days This phrase occurs many times in both Testaments with somewhat different meanings. What the last days are somewhat depends upon what are the antithetical first days. In the Old Testament, the Old Testament dispensation being the first age or days, the last days were the days of the Messiah, or the Christian dispensation. Such is the meaning here. All flesh Not upon a few priests and prophets alone, but upon all ranks and classes; not for one race alone, but... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:18

18. My servants… my handmaidens The words in the Old Testament signify servants or slaves, male and female; and the meaning is, that the Spirit shall condescend to the lowest rank. But Peter, in a true New Testament spirit, inserting the my, elevates them into God’s servants and hand-maids. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:19

19. Wonders in heaven The angels appearing in the sky to the shepherds; the descent of the Spirit, dove-like, from heaven at Jesus’ baptism; the voice from heaven, John 12:28; the Pentecostal mighty rushing as of wind from heaven. In the earth Birth and miracles of Christ and his apostles, and especially Christ’s resurrection. Blood The wonderful blood at the crucifixion. Fire The opening wonder of the Pentecost. Vapour of smoke At the darkness and earthquake of the crucifixion. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:19-20

19, 20. Before this notable inauguration day there should be a series of wonders, and after it should follow the offers of grace and mercy. By Acts 2:22 it appears that these signs and wonders are attendant on the person of Jesus. They are the accessory wonders of that central wonder, the incarnation. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:20

20. Sun… darkness At the Saviour’s death. Moon… blood The optical effect of the miracle of darkness. Yet physical wonders are but the visible signs and indexes of the spiritual and moral movements in the kingdom of God. And all these wonders had their type in the manifestations at Sinai. Again, Sinai and Pentecost are antithesis to each other. Notable day Illustrious day, according to the Septuagint. The Hebrew may mean terrible day. Both were true. The same day has a bright and a... read more
