194:1.1 [[The apostles]] had been in [[hiding]] for forty days. This day happened to be the [[Jewish]] festival of [[Pentecost]], and thousands of [[visitors]] from all parts of the world were in [[Jerusalem]]. Many arrived for this feast, but a [[majority]] had tarried in the city since the [[Passover]]. Now these frightened [[apostles]] emerged from their weeks of [[seclusion]] to [[appear]] [[boldly]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple], where they began to [[preach]] the new [[message]] of a [[Resurrection|risen]] [[Messiah]]. And all the [[disciples]] were likewise [[conscious]] of having [[received]] some new [[spiritual]] [[endowment]] of [[insight]] and [[power]].

194:1.2 It was about two o'clock when [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] stood up in that very place where his [[the Master|Master]] had last taught in this [[temple]], and delivered that impassioned [[appeal]] which resulted in the winning of more than two thousand [[souls]]. [[The Master]] had gone, but they suddenly [[discovered]] that this [[story]] about him had great [[power]] with [[the people]]. No [[wonder]] they were led on into the further [[proclamation]] of that which [[vindicated]] their former [[devotion]] to [[Jesus]] and at the [[same time]] so constrained men to [[believe]] in him. Six of [[the apostles]] [[participated]] in this [[meeting]]: [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter], [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], [[James, the Apostle|James]], [[John, the Apostle|John]], [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], and [[Matthew, the Apostle|Matthew]]. They [[talked]] for more than an hour and a half and delivered [[messages]] in [[Greek]], [[Hebrew]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic Aramaic], as well as a few [[words]] in even other tongues with which they had a speaking acquaintance.
