Acts 2:9

Asia Cappadocia Judea Mesopotamia Pontus

⁷ Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?

⁸ How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

¹¹ both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
