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.

English Standard Version

¹⁶But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷^(A)“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
^(B)that I will pour out my Spirit ^(C)on all flesh,
and your sons and ^(D)your daughters shall prophesy,
    and your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams;
¹⁸even on my male servants and female servants
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and ^(E)they shall prophesy.
¹⁹And I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
²⁰^(F)the sun shall be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood,
    before ^(G)the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
²¹And it shall come to pass that ^(H)everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
