“For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.”
These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only nine in the morning! — Peter's refutation is simple: early morning drinking is culturally implausible, mocking the mockers' stupidity. The appeal to custom and reason establishes that the Spirit's work is not irrational or obscene but fits intelligible patterns of behavior and theological understanding.
