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.

After there had been much (A)debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “[a]Brothers, you know that [b]in the early days (B)God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of (C)the gospel and believe. And God, (D)who knows the heart, testified to them (E)giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; and (F)He made no distinction between us and them, (G)cleansing their hearts by faith. 10 Since this is the case, why are you (H)putting God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which (I)neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But we believe that we are saved through (J)the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.”
