Acts 2 was announced in the temple, for there is no otehr place in Jerusalem where thousands of people would be gathered. It's obvious that to announce Christ as messiah, peter would have preached the first sermon from somewhere within the Temple precinct. |
There is no proof it was in the temple. It says they were in an upper room. This was a place where they lived. It was a very large upper room
