The document describes events that occurred on the day of Pentecost. It recounts how the disciples were gathered together when suddenly a sound like a rushing wind filled the house and tongues of fire rested on each person, filling them with the Holy Spirit and enabling them to speak in other languages. A crowd then gathered in bewilderment because each heard the disciples proclaiming the works of God in their own native tongue.

2. When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all
together in one place. And suddenly there came
from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind,
and it filled the en=re house where they were
si>ng. And divided tongues as of fire appeared
to them and rested on each one of them. And
they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit
gave them uBerance.

3. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews,
devout men from every na=on under heaven.
And at this sound the mul=tude came together,
and they were bewildered, because each one
was hearing them speak in his own language.
And they were amazed and astonished, saying,
“Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own
na=ve language? Parthians and Medes and
Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea
and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

4. Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of
Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from
Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and
Arabians—we hear them telling in our own
tongues the mighty works of God.” And all were
amazed and perplexed, saying to one another,
“What does this mean?” But others mocking
said, “They are filled with new wine.”
Acts 2:1-­‐13 (ESV)

5. And while staying with them he ordered them
not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the
promise of the Father, which, he said, “you
heard from me; for John bap=zed with water,
but you will be bap=zed with the Holy Spirit not
many days from now.”
Acts 1:4-­‐5 (ESV)
