5 At that time devout Jews from every nation under heaven were staying in Jerusalem.+ 6 So when this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7 Indeed, they were utterly amazed and said: “See here, all these who are speaking are Gal·i·leʹans,+ are they not? 8 How is it, then, that each one of us is hearing his own native language? 9 Parʹthi·ans, Medes,+ and Eʹlam·ites,+ the inhabitants of Mes·o·po·taʹmi·a, Ju·deʹa and Cap·pa·doʹci·a, Ponʹtus and the province of Asia,+ 10 Phrygʹi·a and Pam·phylʹi·a, Egypt and the regions of Libʹy·a near Cy·reʹne, sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,+ 11 Creʹtans, and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages about the magnificent things of God.”

42 And they continued devoting themselves to the teaching of the apostles, to associating together, to the taking of meals,+ and to prayers.+
