Acts 2:1-21 (NIV-UK)
The Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all
together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the
blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and
昀椀lled the whole house where they were sitting. They
saw what seemed to be tongues of 昀椀re that separated
and came to rest on each of them. All of them were
昀椀lled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other
tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing
Jews from every nation under heaven. When
they heard this sound, a crowd came together in
bewilderment, because each one heard their own
language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked:
‘Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then
how is it that each of us hears them in our native
language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents
of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and
Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of
Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews
and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs – we
hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own
tongues!’ Amazed and perplexed, they asked one
another, ‘What does this mean?’
Some, however, made fun of them and said, ‘They
have had too much wine.’ Peter addresses the crowd.
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice
and addressed the crowd: ‘Fellow Jews and all of you
who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen
carefully to what I say. These people are not drunk, as
you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! No, this is
what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
‘“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit
on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions, your old men will
dream dreams.
Even on my servants, both men and women, I will
pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will
prophesy.
I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs
on the earth below, blood and 昀椀re and billows of
smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the
moon to blood before the coming of the great and
glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on
the name of the Lord will be saved.”
