Acts 2:1-13

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

1 When ¹the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.

2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like ²a mighty rushing wind, and ³it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

3 And divided tongues ⁴as of fire appeared to them and rested^[a] on each one of them.

4 And they were all ⁵filled with the Holy Spirit and began ⁶to speak in other tongues ⁷as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.

6 And ⁸at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.

7 And ⁹they were amazed and astonished, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking ¹⁰Galileans?

8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?

9 Parthians and ¹¹Medes and ¹²Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,

11 both Jews and ¹³proselytes, Cretans and Arabians--we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God."

12 And ¹⁴all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"

13 But others ¹⁵mocking said, "They are filled with new wine."
