Acts 2:1–11

¹And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place, ²and there came suddenly out of the heaven a sound as of a bearing violent breath, and it filled all the house where they were sitting, ³and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it sat also upon each one of them, ⁴and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.

⁵And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven, ⁶and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were each one hearing them speaking in his proper dialect, ⁷and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, ‘Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? ⁸and how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born? ⁹Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, ¹⁰Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that are along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes, ¹¹Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.’
