Acts 2:1-8, 12-13 – “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they 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 filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3) Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5) And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6) And when this sound occurred, the multitude 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 Galileans? 8) how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 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.”
