Summary

The Jews and all the holy men from all the races in the world residing beneath the heaven were staying in Jerusalem. Once the people were informed of the news about the presence of these holy men in Jerusalem, they gathered together and they set out to the Holy Land. The people who witnessed the preaching activities of the blessed people were amazed because they heard them speaking in their own native language. The people knew that the Jews and the holy men were Galileans but then they were overwhelmed when they heard these Galileans speaking in the language they were born into. Languages from Pathia, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phyrgia , Pamphylia and Libya were spoken by the holy messengers to propagate the words of God. Hence, this mysterious occurrence created anxiety to the minds of the people who witnessed the divine teachings conducted through confounded languages whereas others became extremely doubtful and were merely satisfied in relegating the incident to something of a mockery (Barclay 1976, p. 20).
