They began to praise God by speaking in unknown languages. When the Jewish believers who’d come with Peter heard this, they were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit was being poured out even on Gentiles. Peter said,
So I sent for you right away, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here, and God is also with us, so we are ready to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
The brothers and sisters there had heard we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God for them, and they encouraged him.
