Acts 2:1–17

And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place. ²And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. ³And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. ⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

⁵Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. ⁶And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language. ⁷And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilaeans? ⁸And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born? ⁹Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, ¹¹Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God. ¹²And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this? ¹³But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.

¹⁴But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, saying, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words. ¹⁵For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is but the third hour of the day; ¹⁶but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷And it shall be in the last days, saith God,

I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh:

And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

And your young men shall see visions,

And your old men shall dream dreams:
