Acts 2:4-11

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.

¹¹They include native Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete Island and from the region of Arabia. So how is it that these people are speaking our languages MTY, telling us about ◄the great/the mighty things► that God has done?”
