Acts 2:1-11 (Epistle)
- 1
- When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
- 2
- And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
- 3
- Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
- 4
- And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
- 5
- And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
- 6
- And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
- 7
- Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
- 8
- And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?
- 9
- Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
- 10
- Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
- 11
- Cretans and Arabs – we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”
