Acts 2:11 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 2:11

9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and ^aCappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”

12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”

13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”

Peter’s Sermon

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, ^asince it is only the third hour of the day.

<< Acts 2:10

Acts 2:12 >>

Acts 2:9-11

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].

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.
