5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. |
6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. |
7 Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? |
8 Then how is it 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!" |
