Parthians, etc.—Beginning with the farthest east, the Parthians, the enumeration proceeds farther and farther westward till it comes to Judea; next come the western countries, from Cappadocia to Pamphylia; then the southern, from Egypt to Cyrene; finally, apart from all geographical consideration, Cretes and Arabians are placed together. This enumeration is evidently designed to convey an impression of universality [BAUMGARTEN].
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.
