1 DURING the course of the day of Pentecost they were all together in the same place,

2 when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a strong rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 Then there appeared to them, as it were, tongues of flame distributing themselves, and one rested on each of them.

4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues, as the Spirit gave them power of expression.

5 There were Jews living in Jerusalem, pious men from every nation under heaven.
