Acts 2:7-8

Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?

From Background Notes [BN] for Mar 5th & 6th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

“What does this mean?” They looked for understanding in the words and actions of the Gospel witnesses, and the context for finding meaning was precisely the community experience afforded by the shared festival.

What follows in Acts 2 is Peter’s sermon which ultimately gives birth to the local church in Jerusalem. But the impact would be wider, since the diaspora Jews would then return to their respective homes throughout the Empire and create their own spheres of influence, enriched by the message of Jesus. The mission was launched.[BN,1]
