6 Nowe when this was noised, the multitude came together and were astonied, because that euery man heard them speake his owne language.
And when this sound took place, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 And they wondered al, and marueiled, saying among themselues, Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile?
And they were amazed, and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?

“It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams;

35 Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
