1. Acts 2:11 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What are the mighty works of God that the apostles were telling the crowd about?

Acts 2:11 (ESV)

11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.”

It is likely that the apostles did most of the speaking, given the fact that they were commissioned by Jesus for the task of bearing witness (Acts 1:8). They were busy testifying to God’s mighty deeds in delivering his people (Deuteronomy 11:12; Psalm 71:19; Psalm 105:1; Psalm 106:21).1 Specifically, God’s intervention in history to bring forgiveness of sins through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus the Messiah (Christ).2
