Acts 2:9

Verse 9 of 47. The 2nd of 28 chapters in Acts, in Acts.

5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

6When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

7They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

8How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?

9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

10Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

11Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

12They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

13Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
