Others mocking said, they are filled with new wine
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
This word is G2730 in the Strong's it means to settle down in a dwelling, to dwell fixedly in a place. Paul used this word to describe the Holy Spirit dwelling in the believers in Colossians and again that Christ would make His home in your hearts in Ephesians. This word does not refer to visitors who are there to celebrate a feast.
6 And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, 10 in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.
Why no reference to Shavuot?
12 And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.
This is said as a joke. How is it funny to describe "devout men" as being drunk on cheap wine early in the morning if this is not the New Wine festival?
