2And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in the same place. ²And suddenly a sound like a violent rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³And divided^a tongues like fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. ⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages^b as the Spirit gave them ability to speak out.

⁵Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶And when^* this sound occurred, the crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one was hearing them speaking in his own language. ⁷And they were astounded and astonished, saying, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? ⁸And how do we hear, each one of us, in our own native language?^c ⁹Parthians and Medes and Elamites and those residing in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,^d ¹⁰Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, and the Romans who were in town, ¹¹both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own languages the great deeds of God!”
