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 Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.

⁹ Some 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.

¹⁰ There 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.

¹¹ They 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?”

¹² All those people were amazed, and did not know what to think about what was happening. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

¹³ But some of them ◄made fun of/laughed at► those who believed in Jesus. They said, “ These people are talking like this because they are drunk!”

¹⁴ So Peter stood up with the other eleven apostles and spoke loudly to the crowd of people, saying, “ My fellow Jews and you others who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!

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.

⁹ Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judaea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

¹⁰ both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya which adjoin Cyrene, and the Romans sojourning here, both Jews and proselytes,

¹³ But there were some who said with a sneer, “They have had too much new wine.”

¹⁴ Then Peter, surrounded by the eleven other apostles, stood up, and, raising his voice, addressed the crowd. “People of Judea,” he began, “and all you who are staying in Jerusalem, let me tell you what this means. Mark well my words.
