God speaks in many languages

As for the other languages spoken in Jerusalem around 35 A.D. we have a nice listing in the miracle of the passover in Jerusalem when the city was filled with Jewish pilgrims.


And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven.

Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together and were confounded, because every man heard them speaking in his own language. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, "Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans?

And how then do we each hear them speaking in our own tongue wherein we were born?

  1. Parthians, 
  2. Medes, 
  3. Elamites 
  4. and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, 
  5. and in Judea 
  6. and Cappadocia, 
  7. Pontus 
  8. and Asia,
  9. Phrygia 
  10. and Pamphylia, 
  11. in Egypt 
  12. and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, 
  13. and strangers from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
  14. Cretans 
  15. and Arabians 

-- we hear them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God."

And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, "What meaneth this?"

Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Acts 2:1-13 KJ21
