Pontus

본도

Named at Acts 2:9 in the words of the multitude that came together on the day of Pentecost. At 2:6–11, when the sound is heard, the multitude comes together and is bewildered, and they are all amazed and marvel, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans? How do we hear, everyone in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!” Acts 18:2 says that a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome.

    1Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

    2Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

    3Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.

    4They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

    5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

    6When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

    7They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

    8How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?

    9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

    10Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

    11Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

    12They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

    13Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”

    1After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.

    2He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,

    3and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

    4He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
