And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
All Commentaries on Acts 2:2 Go To Acts 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
As of a rushing mighty wind:
this betokens the exceeding vehemence of the Spirit, but not for the apostles’ sake, but because of the Jews who were then present. Observe how it is always, "as of"; and rightly: that you may have no gross sensible notions of the Spirit, therefore it was not a wind.
