Acts 2:1-21

¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

¶ (And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.)

Now at this sound, the multitude came together and were confounded because each one heard them speak in his own tongue.

And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?

And how do we hear each one speak in our own tongue, with which we were brought up?

Parthians and Medes and Elamites and the dwellers in Mesopotamia and in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

11 Cretes and Arabians, we hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

12 And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does this mean?

13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

14 ¶ Then Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea and all ye that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known unto you and hearken to my words;

15 for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

18 and for certain on my slaves and on my handmaids I will pour out in those days of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

19 and I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke;

20 the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood before that great and notable day of the Lord shall come;

21 and it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Numbers 11:24-30

24 ¶ And Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and set them round about the tabernacle.

25 Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke unto him and took of the spirit that was in him and gave it unto the seventy elders, and it came to pass that when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and did not cease.

26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad and the name of the other Medad, upon whom the spirit also rested; and they were of those that were written, but they had not gone unto the tabernacle; and they began to prophesy in the camp.

27 And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.

28 Then Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

29 And Moses said unto him, Art thou jealous for my sake? It would be good that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!

30 And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

Psalm 104:24-34

24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom thou hast made them all; the earth is full of thy riches.

25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships; there is that leviathan, whom thou didst make to play therein.

27 These wait all upon thee, that thou may give them their food in due season.

28 Thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their spirit, they cease to exist and return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.

31 ¶ Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in his works.

32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34 My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the LORD.

Psalm 104:35

35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Halelu- JAH (Praise ye the LORD).

1 Corinthians 12:3-13

Therefore I give you to understand, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus anathema and that no one can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Spirit.

Now there is dispersal of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there is dispersal of ministries, but the same Lord.

And there is dispersal of operations, but it is the same God who works all in each one.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one to profit with.

For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom; to another, a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

to another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 to another, the operation of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, different kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues:

11 one and the same Spirit operates all these things, dispersing to each one his own gift as he wills.

12 ¶ For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also the Christ.

13 For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether we are Jews or Greeks, whether we are slaves or free, and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Acts 2:1-21

¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

John 20:19-23

19 ¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first of the sabbaths, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said unto them, Peace be unto you.

20 And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

21 Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be unto you; as my Father has sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit;

23 unto those whose sins ye release, they shall be released; and unto those whose sins ye retain, they shall be retained.

John 7:37-39

37 ¶ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come unto me and drink.

38 He that believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39 (But this he spoke concerning the Spirit, which those that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
