- Acts 2:5
Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
Commentary on Acts 2:52 voices

- Acts 2:13
But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”
Commentary on Acts 2:132 voices
These mockers appear to have been some of the natives of Judea, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, (who understood only the dialect of the country,) by the apostle's immediately directing his discourse to them in the next verse. They are full of sweet wine - So the Greek word properly signifies. There was no new wine so early in the year as pentecost.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
For in truth the wine was new, the grace of the New Testament. But this new wine was from a spiritual vine, which already had often borne fruit in the prophets and sprouted forth in the New Testament. For just as in the order of nature the vine, remaining ever the same, brings forth new fruit according to the seasons, so too the same Spirit, remaining what he is, having wrought in the prophets, now manifested something new and marvelous.

Commentary on Acts 2:232 voices
And he had power to blast all their designs in a moment. But he did not exert that power, because he so loved the world! Because it was the determined counsel of his love, to redeem mankind from eternal death, by the death of his only-begotten Son.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
Since they advanced in their daring by means of the cross, he also attempts to free them by saying, "and foreknowledge of God," at once showing that his suffering was voluntary and that he ministered to the predestined, but even while clearing them he does …
