Acts 2:1-11

1 Now when the day of Shavu`ot had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and it sat on each one of them.

4 They were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

5 Now there were dwelling at Yerushalayim Yehudim, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

6 When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

7 They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Behold, aren't all these who speak from the Galil?

8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?

9 Parthians, Madai, Elamites, and people from Aram-Naharayim, Yehudah, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Mitzrayim, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Yehudim and proselytes,

11 Cretans and `Aravi'im: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!"
