2 ¹ When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 ² And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 2 ³ And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. 2 ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

2 ⁵ Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 2 ⁶ And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 2 ⁷ And they were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 2 ⁸ And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 2 ⁹ Par'thians and Medes and E'lamites and residents of Mesopota'mia, Judea and Cappado'cia, Pontus and Asia, 2 ¹⁰ Phryg'ia and Pamphyl'ia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyre'ne, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 2 ¹¹ Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God." 2 ¹² And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" 2 ¹³ But others mocking said, "They are filled with new wine."
