The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

2 And when ^(A)the day of Pentecost ^[a]had fully come, they were all together in one place. ² And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing ^(B)wind, and it filled ^(C)the whole house where they were sitting. ³ And there appeared to them tongues like fire ^[b](D)distributing themselves, and ^[c]they ^[d]rested on each one of them. ⁴ And they were all ^(E)filled with the Holy Spirit and began to ^(F)speak with other ^[e]tongues, as the Spirit was giving them ^[f]utterance.

⁵ Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, ^(G)devout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶ And when ^(H)this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own ^[g]language. ^7 (I)So they were astounded and marveling, saying, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking ^(J)Galileans? ⁸ And how is it that we each hear them in our own ^[h]language in which we were born? ⁹ Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and ^(K)Cappadocia, ^(L)Pontus and ^[i](M)Asia, ^10 (N)Phrygia and ^(O)Pamphylia, Egypt and the district of Libya around ^(P)Cyrene, and ^[j](Q)visitors from Rome, both Jews and ^[k](R)proselytes, ¹¹ Cretans and Arabs—we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God.” ¹² And ^(S)they all continued in astonishment and great perplexity, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” ¹³ But others, mocking, were saying, “^(T)They are full of new wine.”
