¹When Pentecost, the fiftieth day after Passover, came, all the believers were together in one place. ²Suddenly, a sound like a violently blowing wind came from the sky and filled the whole house where they were staying. ³Tongues that looked like fire appeared to them. The tongues arranged themselves so that one came to rest on each believer. ⁴All the believers were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

⁵Devout Jewish men from every nation were living in Jerusalem. ⁶They gathered when they heard the wind. Each person was startled to recognize his own dialect when the disciples spoke.

⁷Stunned and amazed, the people in the crowd said, “All of these men who are speaking are Galileans. ⁸Why do we hear them speaking in our native dialects? ⁹We’re Parthians, Medes, and Elamites. We’re people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia, ¹⁰Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the country near Cyrene in Libya. We’re Jewish people, converts to Judaism, and visitors from Rome, ¹¹Crete, and Arabia. We hear these men in our own languages as they tell about the miracles that God has done.”
