Acts 2:4-11
New American Standard Bible
5Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together and they were bewildered, because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language.
7They were amazed and astonished, saying, 'Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?
9Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty deeds of God.'
King James Version
5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

7They were astounded and amazed, saying, "Look, aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?
8How is it that each of us can hear them in our own native language?
9Parthians, Medes, Elamites; those who live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts),

8and yet we hear them speaking in our own native languages!
9Here we are — Parthians, Medes, Elamites, people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia,
10Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the areas of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome
11(both Jews and converts to Judaism), Cretans, and Arabs. And we all hear these people speaking in our own languages about the wonderful things God has done!'
