In these verses, the Holy Spirit descends down to earth during the Pentecost and fills the mouths of the people in the house with the word of the Lord in many different languages. Later, they were in Jerusalem and were amazed because they were speaking the word of the Lord in their own languages. Some were amazed, but others said they were drunk.

The believers began devoting themselves to the teachings of the apostles. Everyone who believed began to come together, in the church. Next, the people began selling everything that they owned, and gave the proceeds to the people that were in need. Finally, the Lord added to the number of people a day, that people were being saved.

Peter shows the crowd at the temple that all the prophets have pointed to Jesus as the Christ. The rise Lord brings to light our hidden guilt and lifts the burden that crushes every sinner. Though His Word points out your shame, His grace will wipe away your sin.

As Peter and John were speaking to the people in the temple about Jesus' resurrection they were arrested because of the annoyance of the priests . When questioned why they were preaching, Peter and John responded that they were doing a good deed in the name of Jesus Christ who was crucified. When the high priest realized their boldness and the effect they had on the people of Jerusalem they warned them not to preach again. When Peter and John refused to stop preaching the priest let them go because they couldn't find a way to punish them.

The protests were made by Greek Jews against Hebrews about their widows were not taken care of in the daily food distribution. The apostles told them to choose seven mens of good names to give a control of this business. They chose Stephen and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas of Antioch. Under their control, the disciples in Jerusalem became very great.

Stephen's message shows how the Israelites (or God's chosen people), denied/rejected Moses, when they rejected God. Their refusal to follow God finished with the dismissal of Jesus. However, Jesus brought all the sin of the world on Himself, and took the fall for us. In God's gift of Baptism, He gives us clean hearts and forgives our sins. God also pours out his Spirit for us.
