Acts 2:8

8 et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque lingua nostra in qua nati sumus

Acts 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 2:8

And how hear we every man in our own tongue
Them speaking, as the Ethiopic version reads; that is, we everyone of us hear one or another, speak in the same language,

wherein we were born;
our native language; for though these men were Jews by descent, yet were born and brought up in other countries, which language they spake; and not the Hebrew, or Syriac, or Chaldee.
