Graphic Bible · Scene 2 of 5
Acts 2:5-13
Each in His Own Language
The Spirit and the Gathered Community · Acts 2
Story guide: Jews and proselytes from many lands gather in amazement: each hears the Galileans speaking about God’s mighty works in his own language.
Open this scene in the reader →5There were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together and was bewildered, because each one was hearing them speaking in his own dialect.
7And they were astonished and amazed, saying, “Look, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?”
8And how is it that each of us hears in our own native language?
9Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those living in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, and the visiting Romans,
11both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own languages the mighty works of God.
12And they all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
13But others, mocking, were saying, “They are filled with sweet wine.”
