Acts 2:1-13
And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place.And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language.And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilæans?And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born?Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judæa and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this?But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.
