<p>2:15 <i>These</i>- See on 2:18 <i>My handmaids</i>.</p><p><i>Are not drunk as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day</i>- See on 2 Pet. 2:13. Peter&rsquo;s speech of Acts 2 was made in response to a mocker&rsquo;s comment that the speaking in tongues was a result of alcohol abuse (Acts 2:13,14). We would likely have told those men not to be so blasphemous, or just walked away from them. But Peter responds to them with a speech so powerful that men turned around and repented and were baptized on the spot. Or it could be that the comment that they sounded drunk was made in jest, and Peter responds likewise tongue in cheek- for surely he must have known that men can be found drunk at 9 a.m. Is. 5:11 laments how some in Israel were drunk in the morning, so the possibility was not so obviously absurd as Peter might appear, at first blush, to be suggesting. This would then become an example of answering a food according to his folly.</p>
