Acts 2:1-12

¹And on the day of Pentecost they were all together in one place.

²And suddenly there came out of heaven a sound, as of a rushing mighty wind; and it filled the whole house where they were sitting;

³and there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributing themselves; and one sat upon each of them.

⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the Spirit gave them utterance.

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

⁶And when this sound took place, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every one heard them speaking in his own language.

⁷And they were amazed, and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?

⁸and how is it that we every one hear them in our own language, wherein we were born?

⁹Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

¹⁰Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and Romans who sojourn here, both Jews and Proselytes,

¹¹Cretans and Arabians—how is it that we hear them speaking in our tongues the wonderful works of God?

¹²And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What can this mean?
