Bible Question: Were the disciple refilled with the holy spirit in Acts 4:31 ? |
Bible Answer: Dear Edd, Acts 2:4 and Acts 4:31 are similar yet somewhat different. Acts 2:4 is the promise that Jesus made to the disciples in ch 1:4-5. Through which they are empowered to speak in tongues and start to preach before they experience the first persecution (ch 4:1). According to the flow of the context of the first 4 chapters, we see that after Peter and John are released, they get together again to pray for boldness (4:24-30) to spread the Gospel and to work miracles in the name of Jesus as taught...then God answers their prayer in v31 to fill them with Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel BOLDLY despite the opppression or persecution. Here, we see how their faith have grown so much. Hope the above is helpful. Shalom Azure |
