Acts 2:11 in context

The verses around it, from Acts 2.

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?

9 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!”

12 Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13 But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.

15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!
