Acts 2:1-7

1 When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2 Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force - no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building.
3 Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks,
4 and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them.
5 There were many Jews staying in Jerusalem just then, devout pilgrims from all over the world.
6 When they heard the sound, they came on the run. Then when they heard, one after another, their own mother tongues being spoken, they were thunderstruck.
7 They couldn't for the life of them figure out what was going on, and kept saying, "Aren't these all Galileans?
