Bible Note: PART TWO 2) another possibility would be that these mockers these “others” than the ones that did hear their own languages, did not understand the language, because they were not from the country of the language being spoken, and so instead of understanding that Peter was speaking in Egyptian they though Peter was just babbling meaningless words. This would of course give them reason to say “they are drunk.” And on this note, some have said that Peter and the apostles were addressing the crowd as in a preaching mode, and they were speaking to them in their own language. The text says they were speaking of the wonderful works of God. Comparing this passage to the others in Acts it would seem they were praising God and in a state of addressing God not the people but that we can take up another time, suffice it to say for now that if they addressing the people in a preaching style of body language (looking at the people and declaring the wonderful works of God to them) and speaking in their own language and a group came up and heard them speaking in this manner, calling them drunk would not fit and would rather make the mockers appear drunk it is so out of context with the scene. Just because the mockers could not understand the language, it would not have been a sight that would make them think the speaker was drunk. Certainly they had heard others in this international time of holiday speaking to groups in languages other than the mockers understood. Did they go about calling anyone they heard speaking in a language they did not understand “drunk?” and if they did would not the mockers be the ones people would say were drunk. No it would fit much better if we understood that the mockers not only did not understand the language being spoken but that they saw that the disciples were speaking this tongue to the heaven lies in praise to God. Then it would fit as they would think this display of emotionalism to be that of those filled with too much new wine. 3) And we have not yet exhausted this idea of why the mockers did not understand the language if that be the case. a) either the mockers did not understand the language and they saw the emotionalism of praising God with unknown tongues and called the men drunk, or b) he mockers heard the language understood it and yet called them drunk because they were saying things that they did not agree with on a religious basis. This does not seem to fit either. We know that Paul and Jesus were accused of being mad by those that did not agree with their theology, but they did not associate it with being drunk. To be drunk one looses their coherent senses so that they do not do well in constructing sentences and one thing that normally gives away a drunk man is the fact that you notice that he is not making sense. It seems far more logical that the reason they were mocking was because the disciples were showing emotionalism of Praising God maybe with hands uplifted which was a common method of the Jew and that they were loudly praising God .. and these mockers not understanding the language said they were beside themselves with emotionalism because they were drunk even to the point of pretending they could speak in a language they did not know. c) If the mockers could not understand the language. Then the question must be asked Why not? 16 or 17 nations were mentioned, were these mockers of a nation that was excluded from the Grace of God? That could not be since the message was to go out to all the world. Were these individuals of a nation that was mentioned but the miracle did not occur on their ears? Was this due to some predestined plan of God that these particular men should not get the chance to understand the message? NOW READ CAREFULLY… If these mockers were of a nation that was listed, but they did not understand the language so that they accused the disciples of babbling and being drunk.. Could it be that the speaking in tongues by the disciples might sound as a known language to one hearer and as vain babbling to the next? Looking at this passage only for biblical evidence that the speaking in tongues was not always a known language to those that heard is clear by this text. |
