1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly a noise came from heaven like a roaring wind that filled the whole house where they were staying. 3 They saw what looked like separate tongue-shaped flames that settled on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit gave them the ability to do so.

5 At that time there were devout Jews from every nation on earth living in Jerusalem.
