2When the day of Pentecost^t came, they were all together^u in one place. ²Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.^v ³They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. ⁴All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit^w and began to speak in other tongues^a^x as the Spirit enabled them.

⁵Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing^y Jews from every nation under heaven. ⁶When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. ⁷Utterly amazed,^z they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?^a ⁸Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? ⁹Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia,^b Pontus^c and Asia,^b^d ¹⁰Phrygia^e and Pamphylia,^f Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene;^g visitors from Rome ¹¹(both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
