Coming of the Holy Spirit

1 When athe Day of Pentecost had fully come, bthey were all with one accord in one place.  
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it afilled the whole house where they were sitting.  
3 Then there appeared to them1 divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.  
4 And athey were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began bto speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  

The Crowd’s Response

5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, adevout men, from every nation under heaven.  
6 And when this sound occurred, the amultitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.  
7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak aGalileans?  
8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own1 language in which we were born?  
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and aCappadocia, Pontus and Asia,  
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”  
12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”
13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”

Acts 2:1

Acts 2:1 The Day of Pentecost SUMMARY OF ACTS 2: The Disciples Gathered Together. The Baptism of the Spirit. The Apostles Speak as the Spirit Gives Utterance. The Gospel Heard in Many Tongues. The Theory of the Scoffers. Peter's Sermon. The Prophecy of Joel Fulfilled. Christ and the Resurrection Preached. The Jews Convicted of Crucifying the Lord. The Inquiry of Convicted Sinners. Peter's Reply. Three Thousand Baptized. Continuing in the Apostles' Doctrine. The Progress of the Church. When the day of Pentecost was fully come. The entire period between it and the passover, the waiting period of the disciples, was filled full. Pentecost, one of the three great annual festivals of the Jews, lasted only one day, was on the fiftieth day from the morrow after the passover Sabbath (Leviticus 23:15-22). The Savior, crucified on Friday, was in the tomb on the passover Sabbath, and rose on Sunday, the day from whence the count began. The Sunday following would be the eighth day, and the fiftieth day would fall on Sunday, the first day of the eighth week. Hence, the ancient church observed Pentecost on the first day of the week. For fuller discussion, see Meyer, Howson and Milligan on this passage. All agree that Pentecost come on Sunday. Pentecost was the feast of the grain harvest, and was also held by the Jews to be the anniversary of the giving of the law (Exodus 23:16 34:22,23). They were all . . . in one place. Not only the apostles, but the hundred and twenty disciples. They probably had an intimation that the promised day had come.
