The Day of Pentecost

When (A)the day of Pentecost [a]had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a noise like a violent rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled (B)the whole house where they were sitting. And tongues that looked like fire appeared to them, [b]distributing themselves, and a tongue [c]rested on each one of them. And they were all (C)filled with the Holy Spirit and began to (D)speak with different [d]tongues, as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out.

Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, (E)devout men from every nation under heaven.

17 (A)And it shall be in the last days,’ God says,
That I will pour out My Spirit on all [a]mankind;
And your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
And your young men will see visions,
And your old men will [b]have dreams;
18 And even on My male and female [c]servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days,
And they will prophesy.
19 And I will [d]display wonders in the sky above
And signs on the earth below,
Blood, fire, and [e]vapor of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood,
Before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And it shall be that (B)everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
