📚 Historical Context

In the Book of Acts, Chapter 2, Peter is delivering a sermon on the Day of Pentecost in Jerusalem, shortly after Jesus' resurrection and ascension, as the early church begins to form. This event occurs in a Jewish cultural context where crowds had gathered for a major festival, and the apostles were empowered by the Holy Spirit to speak in various languages. Peter boldly proclaims that God raised Jesus from the dead, emphasizing that the apostles themselves were eyewitnesses to these miraculous events.
