Barnes's Acts 2:12 Bible Commentary

Were in doubt - This expression, διηπόρουν diēporoun, denotes "a state of hesitancy or anxiety about an event." It is applied to those who are traveling, and are ignorant of the way, or who hesitate about the road. They were all astonished at this; they did not know how to understand it or explain it, until some of them supposed that it was merely the effect of new wine.

Wesley's Acts 2:12 Bible Commentary

2:12 They were all amazed - All the devout men.
