2:5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

2:7They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

2:9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

2:10Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

2:11Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

2:12They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
