Acts 2:1-9

1 At length, on the day of the Harvest Festival, they had all met in one place;

2 when suddenly there came from the sky a sound as of a strong rushing blast of wind. This filled the whole house where they were sitting;

3 and they saw tongues of what looked like fire distributing themselves over the assembly, and on the head of each person a tongue alighted.

4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in foreign languages according as the Spirit gave them words to utter.

5 Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every part of the world.

6 So when this noise was heard, they came crowding together, and were amazed because everyone heard his own language spoken.

7 They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed, "Are not all these speakers Galilaeans?

8 How then does each of us hear his own native language spoken by them?

9 Some of us are Parthians, Medes, Elamites. Some are inhabitants of Mesopotamia, of Judaea or Cappadocia, of Pontus or the Asian Province, of Phrygia or Pamphylia,
