Pentecost
Wind and Fire
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
2 When the day of Pentecostt came,
they were all togetheru in
one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from
heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.v 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and
came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spiritw and
began to speak in other tonguesa x as
the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearingy Jews
from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in
bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed,z they
asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?a 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native
language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea
and Cappadocia,b Pontusc and
Asia,b d 10 Phrygiae and
Pamphylia,f Egypt
and the parts of Libya near Cyrene;g visitors
from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear
them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this
mean?”
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too
much wine.”h
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and
addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me
explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in
the morning!i 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “ ‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.j
Your sons and
daughters will prophesy,k
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.l
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,m
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to bloodn
before the coming of the great and glorious
day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
