They heard them speaking in languages they had not known before. They also heard them praising God. Then Peter said,

因听见他们说方言，称赞神为大。

因听见他们说方言，称赞上帝为大。于是彼得回答：

因听见他们说方言，称赞神为大。于是彼得回答：

因为他们听见这些人又说方言又赞美上帝。于是彼得说：

原来听见他们讲方言，尊神为大。于是彼得说：

因为他们听见外邦人说着殊言，又尊神为大。于是彼得说：

因聽見他們說方言，稱讚神為大。

原來聽見他們講方言，尊神為大。於是彼得說：

因為他們聽見這些人捲舌頭說話，尊崇上帝為大。

蓋聞其言諸方言、讚上帝為大也、

蓋聞其言諸國方言、稱上帝為大也、

蓋聞其言諸國方言、稱頌天主為大、

以聞若輩操方言而讚揚天主也。

For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said,

For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,

For they heard them speaking in other languages and declaring the greatness of God. Then Peter responded,

For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

for they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said,

For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

Paul placed his hands on them. Then the Holy Spirit came on them. They spoke in languages they had not known before. They also prophesied.

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to speak in languages they had not known before. The Spirit gave them the ability to do this.

Here are the miraculous signs that those who believe will do. In my name they will drive out demons. They will speak in languages they had not known before.

Some of the visitors are Jews. Others have accepted the Jewish faith. Also, Cretans and Arabs are here. We hear all these people speaking about God’s wonders in our own languages!”

Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. Be like babies as far as evil is concerned. But be grown up in your thinking.In the law it is written,“ With unfamiliar languages and through the lips of outsiders I will speak to these people. But even then they will not listen to me.”( Isaiah 28:11, 12) That is what the Lord says.So speaking in other languages is a sign for those who don’t believe. It is not a sign for those who do believe. But prophecy is not for those who don’t believe. It is for those who believe.Suppose the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in other languages. And suppose visitors or unbelievers come in. Won’t they say you are out of your minds?But suppose unbelievers or visitors come in while everyone is prophesying. Then they will feel guilty about their sin. They will be judged by all.The secrets of their hearts will be brought out into the open. They will fall down and worship God. They will exclaim,“ God is really here among you!”
