And how is it that every one of us is hearing their words in the language which was ours from our birth?
9
Men of Parthia, Media, and Elam, and those living 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 those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who have become Jews,
11
Men of Crete and Arabia, to all of us they are talking in our different languages, of the great works of God.
12
And they were all surprised and in doubt saying to one another, What is the reason of this?
13
But others, making sport of them, said, They are full of new wine.
14
But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words.
15

16
But this is the thing which was said by the prophet Joel;
17
And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:
18
And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets.
