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. |
