Nearby Context

Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was now accomplishing, they were all together in one place.

Acts 2:3 And there appeared to them parted tongues, as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "pentecost", "accomplishing", "together", and "place". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "pentecost" and "accomplishing", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "And there came suddenly a sound out...", so "pentecost" and "accomplishing" should be read forward into that movement. In Acts context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "pentecost" and "accomplishing" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
