2Suddenly they heard a noise coming from the sky that sounded like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
3Then they saw what looked like flames of fire. These flames separated from one another, and one of them came down on the head of each of the believers.
4Then all of the believers were ◄completely controlled/empowered► by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit ◄completely controlled/empowered► all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages MTY that they had not learned.
5At that time many Jews were staying in Jerusalem to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who always tried to obey the Jewish laws. They had come from many different HYP countries.
6When they heard that loud noise like a wind, a crowd came together to the place where the believers were. The crowd ◄was amazed/did not know what to think►, because each of them was hearing one of the believers speaking in that person's own language.
7They were completely amazed, and they said to each other, “All these men who are speaking have RHQ always resided in Galilee district, so they would not know our languages.
8◄ We(inc) do not understand how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?► RHQ But all of us hear them doing that
9Some of us are from the regions of Parthia and Media and Elam, and others of us reside in the regions of Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
10There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya that are near Cyrene city. There are others of us who are here visiting Jerusalem from Rome.
