OT-PROPHET.filter - rwp John:3:5-8:

rwp@Acts:2:2 @{Suddenly} (\aphn\). Old adverb, but in the N.T. only in Acts (2:2; strkjv@16:26; strkjv@28:6|). Kin to \exaiphns\ (Acts:22:61|). {A sound} (\chos\). Our \echo\. Old word, already in strkjv@Luke:4:37| for rumour and strkjv@Luke:21:25| for the roar of the sea. It was not wind, but a roar or reverberation "as of the rushing of a mighty wind" (\hsper pheromens pnos biaias\). This is not a strict translation nor is it the genitive absolute. It was "an echoing sound as of a mighty wind borne violently" (or rushing along like the whirr of a tornado). \Pno\ (wind) is used here (in the N.T. only here and strkjv@17:25| though old word) probably because of the use of \pneuma\ in verse 4| of the Holy Spirit. In strkjv@John:3:5-8| \pneuma\ occurs for both wind and Spirit. {Filled} (\eplrsen\). "As a bath is filled with water, that they might be baptized with the Holy Ghost, in fulfilment of strkjv@Acts:1:5|" (Canon Cook). {They were sitting} (\san kathmenoi\). Periphrastic imperfect middle of \kathmai\.
