SCRIPTURE

"But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine." — Acts 2:13 (ASV)

Mocking (διαχλευαζοντες). Old verb, but only here in the N.T., though the simple verb (without δια) in 17:32. Χλευη means a joke.

With new wine (γλευκους). Sweet wine, but intoxicating. Sweet wine kept a year was very intoxicating. Genitive case here after μεμεστωμενο εισιν (periphrastic perfect passive indicative), old verb μεστοω, only here in the N.T. Tanked up with new wine, state of fulness.
