• Acts 2:1-9 : 1 When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit enabled them to speak. 5 Now there were devout Jews residing in Jerusalem, from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment because each one heard them speaking in their own language. 7 They were astonished and amazed, saying, 'Aren't all these who are speaking Galileans?' 8 How is it that each of us hears them in our native language where we were born? 9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene, visitors from Rome, 11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues! 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, asking one another, 'What does this mean?' 13 But others mocked and said, 'They are full of new wine.' 14 Then Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: 'Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.' 15 'These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning!' 16 'No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel.' 17 ‘In the last days,’ says God, ‘I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
