A Year in Luke/Actsનમૂનો

Peter’s speech on Pentecost might be described as an anti-Babel speech.
“In Genesis 11:7, God descends to confound the transgressors, but at Pentecost God descends more positively (Acts 2:33). In Genesis, God scatters tongues to shatter unity; in Acts, the Spirit scatters a united people's tongues to establish greater unity.” (Keener, p131, Acts)
This highlights new Creation themes in the opening of Acts. Luke is trying to show his readers again and again that because of Jesus the world is a different place. The events incredibly blend with stories and images from the Hebrew Bible to baptize our imaginations into a new stage in God’s Great Story.
The fact that Peter’s speech is understandable in the languages of all those present shows that the Kingdom being established is one of Unity and Humility, as opposed to Babel’s pride.
