3 Then there appeared to them¹ divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, ^adevout men, from every nation under heaven.

6 And when this sound occurred, the ^amultitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.

7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak ^aGalileans?

8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own¹ language in which we were born?

Acts 2:5-11

there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men out of every nation—not, it would seem, permanently settled there (see Acts 2:9), though the language seems to imply more than a temporary visit to keep this one feast.
