Exegesis
The main narrative assertion is carried by synelthen to plethos {συνῆλθε τὸ πλῆθος | syn-êl-the tò plê-thos} “the multitude came together,” with the neuter noun plethos functioning as a collective subject.
In context — Acts 2:6
When this sound had occurred, the multitude came together and was confounded, because each one was hearing them speak in his own dialect .
