Acts 2:7

Amazed and marvelled [ε ξ ι σ τ α ν τ ο κ α ι ε θ α υ μ α ζ ο ν]. The former word denotes the first overwhelming surprise. The verb is literally to put out of place; hence, out of one's senses.

The latter word, marvelled, denotes the continuing wonder; meaning to regard with amazement, and with a suggestion of beginning to speculate on the matter.

Galilaeans. Not regarded as a sect, for the name was not given to Christians until afterward; but with reference to their nationality. They used a peculiar dialect, which distinguished them from the inhabitants of Judaea. Compare Mark 14:70. They were blamed for neglecting the study of their language, and charged with errors in grammar and ridiculous mispronunciations.
