# General Information:
|
|
|

Here the word "us" refers to Peter, the other apostles, and all of the Jewish believers who had received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])
|
|

|
# As I began to speak to them, the Holy Spirit came on them
|
|
|
|
This implies that Peter had not finished speaking but had intended to say more.

|
|
# the Holy Spirit came on them, just as on us in the beginning
|
|
|
|
Peter leaves out some things to keep the story short. Alternate translation: "the Holy Spirit came on the Gentile believers, just as he came on the Jewish believers at Pentecost" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
|
|
|
|
# in the beginning
