Acts 2:8

"They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?"

Key Reflection

The people in Jerusalem were taken aback by the diverse languages spoken at Pentecost, recognizing that those speaking included Galileans, a region known for its distinct accent and dialect. This miracle highlighted the breaking down of language barriers as prophesied, signifying the universal reach of God’s message through the Holy Spirit’s empowerment.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 8. Wherein we were born. That is, as we say, in our native language; that which is spoken where we were born. __________________________________________________________________
