Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 43. - Fear came, etc. This seems to be spoken of the awe which fell upon the whole people, and restrained them from interfering with the disciples. Just as at the first settlement of Israel in the land of Canaan God laid the fear of them and the dread of them upon all the hind (Deuteronomy 11:25), so now the fear engendered by the events on the day of Pentecost, by the signs and wonders which followed and by the wonderful unity and holiness of the newborn Church, so wrought upon every soul at Jerusalem that all enmity was paralyzed, and the disciples had time to multiply and to consolidate and establish themselves before the storm of persecution fell upon them.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(43) Fear came upon every soul.--The Greek text shows a careful distinction of tenses. Fear--i.e., reverential awe--came specially at that season; the "signs and wonders" were wrought continually. (See Note on Acts 2:19.)
