Acts 2:1-12

English Standard Version

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

2 When ^(A)the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. ²And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like ^(B)a mighty rushing wind, and ^(C)it filled the entire house where they were sitting. ³And divided tongues ^(D)as of fire appeared to them and rested^[a] on each one of them. ⁴And they were all ^(E)filled with the Holy Spirit and began ^(F)to speak in other tongues ^(G)as the Spirit gave them utterance.

⁵Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶And ^(H)at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. ⁷And ^(I)they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking ^(J)Galileans? ⁸And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? ⁹Parthians and ^(K)Medes and ^(L)Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, ¹¹both Jews and ^(M)proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” ¹²And ^(N)all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

Redemption of Property

²³“The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for ^(A)the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me. ²⁴And in all the country you possess, you shall allow a redemption of the land.

²⁵“If your brother becomes poor and sells part of his property, ^(B)then his nearest redeemer shall come and redeem what his brother has sold. ²⁶If a man has no one to redeem it and then himself becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it, ²⁷let ^(C)him calculate the years since he sold it and pay back the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and then return to his property. ²⁸But if he does not have sufficient means to recover it, then what he sold shall remain in the hand of the buyer until the year of jubilee. In the jubilee it shall ^(D)be released, and ^(E)he shall return to his property.
