Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 2:1-47

Chapter 2Now when the day of Pentecost ( Acts 2:1 )This would be feast day following the Passover, of which Jesus was crucified. And fifty days after the Passover, the second major Jewish feast, the Feast of Pentecost, or the Feast of Ingathering. This is the time when they would gather the winter wheat, the winter grains that had been sown, and the early part of June; they're ready for harvest.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 2:1-47

Acts 2:1 . The day of Pentecost. The fiftieth day after our Lord’s resurrection, and the day when the sheaf of the firstfruits was offered. Though the feast of Pentecost was but one day, yet like the passover, it was continued through all the week by a course of after services. See on Exodus 19:1. Acts 2:3 .

Acts 2:37-42Now when they heard this they were pricked in their heart.The effects of gospel preaching1. Peter having explained the events of Pentecost, an immediate effect was produced. “They were pricked in their hearts.” So the Holy Ghost was poured out upon them as He had been poured out upon the assembly of the Church. We see here, therefore, the double action of the Holy Spirit. He is poured out upon the Church to sanctify and to confirm in the faith; and upon those who are outside that He... read more

Acts 2:38Then Peter said, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of the Lord Jesus.Peter’s directionIn getting the exact meaning of Peter’s directions to these inquirers, observe--(1) “Repent” is literally to perceive afterwards, and hence to change the mind, including one’s view of life and truth, and hence one’s purpose. Here it means an entire change of opinion respecting Jesus Christ, from regarding Him as an impostor to reverencing Him as both Lord and Christ; but it also... read more

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Ver. 38. Peter said unto them, Repent ] μετανοησατε . Hence then they had not yet repented, for all they were pricked at heart. Nay, Peter prescribes it for a remedy, which taxeth their folly that take the disease for the remedy, and are overly forward to minister comfort or ever men have sorrowed after God, and to a... read more
