And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
Everyone was completely shocked and kept turning to each other like, 'Wait, aren't all these people from Galilee? How are they speaking our languages?'

📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, chapter 2, the Holy Spirit descends on the apostles during the Jewish festival of Pentecost in Jerusalem, enabling them to speak in various foreign languages. The crowd is astonished because these speakers are identified as Galileans, who were typically from a rural, working-class region known for its simple fishermen and laborers, not for scholarly or multilingual expertise. This highlights the miraculous nature of the event, demonstrating God's power to transform ordinary people for His divine purposes.
