The Holy Ghost fell on the Apostles and all the Disciples at Jerusalem before all the people; that is, They all heard them speak in several tongues, the wonderful works of God; even the Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the Inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, Libya, Cyrene, Rome, Jews and Proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians, Act. 2.8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
