  2. 8 The Greek term is γλώσσαις (glōssais), the same word used for the tongues of fire. Other languages. Acts 2:6–7 indicates that these were languages understandable to the hearers, a diverse group from “every nation under heaven.”
  3. 9 Grk “just as the spirit gave them to utter.” The verb ἀποφθέγγομαι (apophthengomai) was used of special utterances in Classical Greek ( ).
