<p>2:7 <i>And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying: Look, are not all those who speak Galileans?</i><i>- </i>Luke describes the &ldquo;amazement&rdquo; at the preaching and person of Jesus (Lk. 2:47,48; 4:36; 5:26; 8:56; 24:22), and then uses the same word to describe the &ldquo;amazement&rdquo; at the apostles (Acts 2:7,12; 8:13; 9:21; 10:45; 12:16). See on Acts 1:1. Galileans were noted for their heavy accent and grammatical mistakes. Yet exactly those people, the least qualified as linguists, were chosen to perform the greatest linguistic miracle of all time.</p>
