Acts 2:1-13

Revised Geneva Translation

2 And when the Day of Pentecost had come, they were all of one mind, in one place.

² And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as that of a rushing, mighty wind. And it filled all the house where they sat.

³ And tongues of fire appeared to them. And they were distributed and sat upon each of them.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit declared.

⁵ And there were Jews dwelling at Jerusalem, men of every nation under heaven, who feared God.

⁶ Now when this was heard, the multitude came together and were astonished, because everyone heard them speak his own language.

⁷ And they all wondered, and marveled, saying among themselves, “Behold, are not all these who speak from Galilee?

⁸ “How then do we each hear our own language, with which we were born?

⁹ “Parthians and Medes and Elamites; and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia and of Judea and of Cappadocia of Pontus, and Asia,

¹⁰ “and of Phrygia and Pamphylia; of Egypt and of the parts of Libya which is beside Cyrene; and strangers of Rome and Jews and Proselytes,

¹¹ “Cretans and Arabians. We heard them speak the wonderful works of God in our own tongues!”

¹² Then they were all amazed, and doubted, saying to one another, “What could this mean?”

¹³ And others mocked them, and said, “They are full of new wine!”
