Acts 2:2

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,
