Acts 2:12

"Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”"

Key Reflection

This linguistic miracle underscores the universal significance and divine authenticity of the message being preached, breaking down barriers of language to reveal God's mighty works to diverse peoples.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 12. Were in doubt. This expression--dihporoun-- denotes a state of hesitancy or anxiety about an event. It is applied to those who are travelling, and are ignorant of the way, or who hesitate about the road. They were all astonished at this; they did not know how to understand it or explain it, until some of them supposed it was merely the effect of new wine. {b} "What meaneth this" Ac 17:20 __________________________________________________________________
