And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born?
9
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
10
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11
Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.
12
And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13
But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.
14
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, [saying], Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.
15
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day.
16
but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17
And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of My Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams:
18
Yea and on My servants and on My handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
