The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

2And when ^athe day of Pentecost ¹had fully come, they were all together in one place. ²And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing ^awind, and it filled ^bthe whole house where they were sitting. ³And there appeared to them tongues like fire ¹^,^adistributing themselves, and ²they ³rested on each one of them. ⁴And they were all ^afilled with the Holy Spirit and began to ^bspeak with other ¹tongues, as the Spirit was giving them ²utterance.

⁵Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, ^adevout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶And when ^athis sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own ¹language. ⁷^aSo they were astounded and marveling, saying, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking ^bGalileans? ⁸“And how is it that we each hear them in our own ¹language in which we were born? ⁹“Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and ^aCappadocia, ^bPontus and ¹^,^cAsia, ¹⁰^aPhrygia and ^bPamphylia, Egypt and the district of Libya around ^cCyrene, and ¹^,^dvisitors from Rome, both Jews and ²^,^eproselytes, ¹¹Cretans and Arabs—we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God.” ¹²And ^athey all continued in astonishment and great perplexity, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” ¹³But others, mocking, were saying, “^aThey are full of new wine.”
