Exegesis

The coordinated clause kai pantes lalōsin glōssais {καὶ πάντες λαλῶσιν γλώσσαις | kaí pántes lalôsin glṓssais} expands the scenario: the distributive pantes with the subjunctive lalōsin emphasizes that all present are concurrently speaking, while the dative glōssais indicates the medium of speech, “in tongues” or “in languages.”
