The place was shaken
In this chapter we read that the apostles and the brothers had been praying and praising God. Then the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. We do not find any visible appearance here, such as there had been in the former case. Nor are we told that the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost were then given to all of them, or to any of them.
Such gifts were the gifts of healing, of working other miracles, of prophecy, and of discerning spirits. Such also were the speaking with various kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues.

2. In this chapter we read, that when the apostles and brethren had been praying, and praising God, the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. Not that we find any visible appearance here, such as had been in the former instance: nor are we informed that the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost, were then given to all or any of them; such as the gifts of healing, of working |other| miracles, of prophecy, of discerning spirits; the speaking with divers kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues.
