📚 Historical Context
In Acts 2, Peter is delivering a sermon on the Day of Pentecost, a Jewish festival celebrating the harvest, where the Holy Spirit descends upon the apostles as promised by Jesus. This event occurs shortly after Jesus' resurrection and ascension, drawing a multilingual crowd in Jerusalem who are amazed by the disciples speaking in various languages. Peter quotes from the prophet Joel to show that these occurrences fulfill Old Testament prophecies about the end times and God's salvation.
