Pentecost: The Coming of the Spirit

Acts 2:1-13

Chapter 2
1 When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all together in the same place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And tongues like flames of fire appeared to them, being distributed and resting on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 Now there were Jews dwelling in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 But when this sound occurred, the crowd came together and was confused, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7 They were astonished and marveled, saying, "Look, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?" 8 And how do we hear, each in our own dialect in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya around Cyrene, and the Romans residing there, 11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own languages the mighty deeds of God. 12 They were all astonished and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" 13 Others, however, mocking, said, "They are filled with new wine."
