Acts 2:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Noised abroad; either the miraculous winds were heard, or the report of what had happened was spread abroad. Were confounded; either out of shame that they had slain Christ, whom God thus extraordinarily glorified; or out of admiration at so extraordinary a matter. Every man heard them speak in his own language; probably, not that the same words spoken by the apostles were diversified according to every one's understanding, for then the miracle had been wrought in their auditors, and not in the apostles; but that the apostles did speak to every one in their proper and most intelligible language: and this was the gift of tongues, which for some time after also was continued in the church.

Acts 2:6

6 Now when this wasa noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
