Verse 4

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Ver. 4. As the Spirit gave them utterance ] αποφθεγγεσθαι , to utter divine apothegms, grave and gracious sentences, or rather oracles; those Magnalia Dei, great things of God, Acts 2:11 ; Mirabilia legis, Great things of the law, Psalms 119:18 . 2Pe 1:21 Cedro digna et Cerite cera. Horat.

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost ] And so gifted for their offices and employments in the Church. The heathens tell us that Hesiod, being filled with a sudden inspiration by the Muses, became of a sordid neatherd a most skilful poet. And Cicero saith, no man ever grew famous sine aliquo afflatu divino, without some inbreathing from on high.
