1. When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

2. Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3. There appeared to them tongues as of fire, being distributed and resting on each of them,

4. and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.

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

6. When this sound occurred, the crowd came together and were confounded, because each man heard them speaking in his own language.

7. They were all amazed and marveled, saying to each other, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

8. How is it that we hear, each in our own native language?
