ACC ~ Acts 19 v7

TWELVE MEN. BEDE: Truly, “the judgments of God [are like] mighty depths.” Behold, Asia, which not long before was unworthy to be visited by the apostles, now consecrated by the apostolic number [i.e., twelve] and exalted by a prophetic gift! And it should be noted that the Holy Spirit showed signs of his coming, both here in the twelve disciples, and earlier in the hundred and twenty(which is the number twelve multiplied ten times). I believe that the former [manifestation occurred] in Jerusalem, and this one in Ephesus, which is a Greek city, to show that whether the one who believes is from the Jews or the Gentiles, he [the Spirit] fills only those who share in the unity of the catholic and apostolic church.
