Acts 2:8 - Additional Comments

The apostles may have been repeating the same message over and over in many different languages, or each person miraculously heard it in their native tongue. But we do know the general content - they spoke of "the wonderful works of God" (verse 11). But still, what they had heard was incomplete, for they wondered what it all meant (verse 12). That is why Peter stood up and delivered his sermon (starting in verse 14).
