“And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another , Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?”
Acts 2:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 2:7
The crowd's amazement at hearing Galileans speak in various tongues reveals God's sovereign reversal of human pride. Galilee, despised for its provincial accent and mixed population, became the instrument of divine revelation. The Greek 'existanto' (were amazed) expresses profound astonishment bordering on confusion - human wisdom cannot comprehend God's methods of exalting the humble.
