Acts 2:1-8 ▼

1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

2 Suddenly a sound like a violent wind blowing came from heaven and filled the entire house where they were sitting.

3 And tongues spreading out like a fire appeared to them and came to rest on each one of them.

4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.

5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.

6 When this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

7 Completely baffled, they said, |Aren't all these who are speaking Galileans?

8 And how is it that each one of us hears them in our own native language?
