Bede, on Acts 2:3
Bede · A.D. 673–735
Acts 2:3 · Douay-Rheims
“And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:”
On this verse:
“And there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire, and one sat upon each of them, etc. This fire, not this fire. For in Greek it is πυρὸς, not πῦρ. This distinction would be easier to see if, adding a word, it were said: Divided tongues appeared as if of burning fire, or as if of shining fire, so that it may be understood that the tongues were divided in the appearance of fire.”
