Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) Seeing it is but the third hour of the day.--The appeal is made to the common standard of right feeling. Drunkenness belonged to the night (1Thessalonians 5:7). It was a mark of extremest baseness for men to "rise up early in the morning that they may follow strong drink" (Isaiah 5:11; comp. also Ecclesiastes 10:16). "Were the disciples likely to be drunk at 9 a. m., and that on the morning of the Day of Pentecost, after a night spent in devotion, and when all decent Jews were fasting?Parallel Commentaries ...GreekThese [men]οὗτοι (houtoi)Demonstrative Pronoun - Nominative Masculine PluralStrong's 3778: This; he, she, it. are not drunkμεθύουσιν (methyousin)Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person PluralStrong's 3184: To be intoxicated with wine, be drunk.
