Acts 2:5-13
RTB 2020!! And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. (v. 6) I continue to be intrigued as to where the disciples had gathered when the Holy Spirit descended. Verse 1 says “one place” while verse 2 says “entire house”. I posted yesterday that it made sense to me that they were gathered somewhere in the temple precincts. To me that is confirmed today in the verse quoted above. As I read verse 6, it seems to me that they are somewhere that is reasonably public, not shut up in the interior of a residence. Otherwise how could a “multitude” hear “this sound” and come together? And this “multitude” is from so many parts of the known world that the temple area seems most reasonable.
Slava Bohu!
