⁴ When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called^(A) to him from within the bush,^(B) “Moses! Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”^(C)

⁵ “Do not come any closer,”^(D) God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”^{(E) 6} Then he said, “I am the God of your father,^[a] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”^(F) At this, Moses hid^(G) his face, because he was afraid to look at God.^(H)

¹⁰ The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!^(A)”

Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

²⁰ and teaching^(A) them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you^(B) always, to the very end of the age.”^(C)

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

2 When the day of Pentecost^(A) came, they were all together^(B) 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.^{(C) 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 Spirit^(D) and began to speak in other tongues^[a](E) as the Spirit enabled them.

²⁷ God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.^{(A) 28} ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’^[a](B) As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’^[b]

²² And God placed all things under his feet^(A) and appointed him to be head^(B) over everything for the church, ²³ which is his body,^(C) the fullness of him^(D) who fills everything in every way.^(E)
