[…] At Pentecost, the apostles were understood by everyone, as if each had heard them in their own language. In reality, they did not speak in any of the existing languages, but the inner language that complemented the resounding signs was the complete, not yet broken, silent original language: this was understood. Thus, too, the Lord spoke during the healings and so-called miracles, outwardly in Aramaic, but inwardly in the full, silent language of meanings.
