Subject: How many in upper room?? |
Bible Note: Searcher56 Does it say the men were speaking in tongues or that the hearers heard them each in his own language? I believe they were heard which doesn't neccessarily insure that each language was spoken. Perhaps this was another example of tongues where the speaker speaks in his native language but the hearer hears in his native language. This might explain how the message of Jesus Christ was spread in many foreign lands. I have heard of missionaries going to foreign nations and preaching and being understood even though neither the speaker or the hearer knew the others language. I think this is one of the finer points that is missed in this passage. |
