Bible Question:
Has anyone else heard that Acts 2:2 may be speaking about them sitting in the Temple area and not in the "upper room"? The Greek word translated "house" is also the word that is used for the Temple I believe. Also, it makes sense in the context and also answers the critique that 120 people couldn't fit in one single upper room in a house. MJH |
Bible Answer: Greetings Mjh! The word used in Acts 2:2 is 'oikos'. It is simply the word 'house'. Acts 7:47 does use it once in reference to Solomon's Temple, but it is not a usual word for 'Temple'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
