And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another , Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
