14 Jun The descent of the Spirit

ACTS 2:1-13:

[1] When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 

[2] And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 

[3] And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 

[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

[5] Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 

[6] And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 

[7] And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? [8] And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? [9] Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 

[10] Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, [11] both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 

[12] And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 

[13] But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”
