Acts 2:5-11 ▼

5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

6 And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

7 Astounded and amazed, they asked, “ Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?

8 How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

11 both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs— we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!
