1 Corinthians 14:25

Made manifest. Either by conscience being awakened and the real designs and motives of the heart being revealed by the Holy Spirit, or by secret facts concerning the strangers present in the meeting being revealed under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It was the revelation of the secrets of her life that brought the Samaritan woman to the conviction that Jesus was a prophet (John 4:19; cf. v. 29).

Falling down. A posture of worship common in the Orient.

Report. Gr. apaggello, “to declare.” His message is the reverse of that given by the strangers who attend meetings where there is a disorderly display of tongues (v. 23). The inward conviction brought about by the powerful witness of those who have the gift of prophecy, each uttering clearly, logically, and winningly the special phase of revelation imparted to him by the Spirit, impels him to confess his faith in the power of God.
