* **they were all together in the same place** - The word "they" probably refers to the group of about 120 believers who were together in Luke 1:15-26. This included the twelve apostles.
* **like the rush of a violent wind** - "like the blowing of a very strong wind" or "like a very strong wind blowing" (See: [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile]])
* **tongues like fire** - Possible meanings are 1) tongues that looked like they were made of fire, or 2) small flames of fire that looked like tongues. When fire burns in a small space, such as on a lamp, the flame can be shaped like a tongue. (See: [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile]])
