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

¹ When the day of Pentecost had now come, they were all meeting in one mind, ² when suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a terrific blast of wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting, ³ And they saw tongues like flames of fire separating and resting on their heads, one to each of them, ⁴ and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in foreign languages as the Spirit granted them to utter divine things.

⁵ Now there were devout Jews from every part of the world living in Jerusalem. ⁶ And when this sound was heard, the crowd rushed together in great excitement, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. ⁷ They were perfectly astounded, and in bewilderment they continued to say, "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? ⁸ So how is it that each of us hears them speaking in 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 Libya around Cyrene, transient dwellers from Rome, Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Cretans and Arabs -- we hear them all alike telling in our own tongues the great wonders of God." ¹² And thus they all continued to be astounded and bewildered, and continued to say to each other, "What can this mean?" ¹³ But others in derision were saying, "They are running over with new wine."
