The Coming of the
Holy Spirit
When the day of Pentecost had come, they
were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush
of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared
among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
Now there were devout Jews from
every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and
was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of
each. Amazed
and astonished, they asked, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us,
in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia,
Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya
belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we
hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.’ All were amazed and perplexed, saying to
one another, ‘What does this mean?’ But others sneered and said, ‘They are filled with new
wine.’
Peter Addresses the
Crowd
But Peter, standing with the
eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: ‘Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I
say. Indeed,
these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the
morning. No,
this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
“In the last
days it will be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.
Even upon my
slaves, both men and women,
in those days I will pour out my Spirit;
and they shall prophesy.
And I will show
portents in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
The sun shall
be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the Lord’s great and
glorious day.
Then everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
