2And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
6And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language.
7And they were all amazed and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8And how hear we, every man in our own language, wherein we were born?

18Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
19And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day:
21And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;
