Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 2:6

6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language .

Either the miraculous winds was heard, or the report of what had hapned was spread abroad.

Probably, not that the same words spoken by the Apostles, were diversifyed according to every ones understanding: for then the miracle had been wrought in their Auditors, and not in the Apostles: but that the Apostles did speak to every one in their proper and most intelligible Language; and this was the gift of Tongues, which for some time after also was continued in the Church.

Either out of shame, that they had slain Christ, whom God thus extraordinarily glorified; or out of admiration of so extraordinary a matter.
