, saying one to another, Are not all
these who are speaking Galileans? (8)And how do we hear every man in
our own peculiar dialect, in which from our birth we were brought up?
(9)Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they who inhabit
Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, (10)and
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene,
and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes,
(11)Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own several
tongues the marvellous things of God. (12)And they were all amazed, and
much perplexed, and knew not what to think, saying one to another, What
can this mean? (13)But others scoffing said, These men are brimful of
