Acts 10:45 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

And they of the circumcision which believed, [ pistoi (G4103 ) = pisteuontes (G4100 )], were astonished, as many as came with Peter - the six Jewish brethren 'that accompanied Peter from Joppa' (Acts 11:12, and Acts 10:23),

Because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. Their wonder arose not from the descent of the Spirit upon men of Gentile birth, but from His descending on them while yet uncircumcised.
