Acts 2:1-13 - Pentecost And The Coming Of The Holy Spirit

¹ On the day of the Harvest Festival, they were all meeting together, ² when suddenly there came from the sky a sound like a violent blast of wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ And they saw tongues like flames separating and settling one on the head of each of them, ⁴ and they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to say in foreign languages whatever the Spirit prompted them to utter.

⁵ Now there were devout Jews from every part of the world living in Jerusalem. ⁶ And when this sound was heard, the crowd gathered in great excitement, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. ⁷ They were perfectly amazed and said in their astonishment, "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? ⁸ Then how is it that each of us hears his own native tongue? ⁹ Parthians, Medes, Elamites, residents of Mesopotamia, of Judea and Cappadocia, of Pontus, and Asia, ¹⁰ of Phrygia, and Pamphylia, of Egypt and the district of Africa about Cyrene, visitors from Rome, Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Cretans and Arabs??e all hear them tell in our native tongues the mighty deeds of God." ¹² And they were all amazed and bewildered and said to one another, "What can this mean?" ¹³ But others said derisively, "They have had too much new wine!"
