1When the day of Pentecost had come , they were all together in one place . 2And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind , and it filled the entire house where they were sitting . 3Divided tongues , as of fire , appeared among them , and a tongue rested on each of them . 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages , as the Spirit gave them ability .

Acts 2:1-21
.
God pours out His Spirit to the world , and the disciples prophecy
5Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem . 6And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered , because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each . 7Amazed and astonished , they asked , " Are not all these who are speaking Galileans ? 8And how is it that we hear , each of us , in our own native language ? 9Parthians , Medes , Elamites , and residents of Mesopotamia , Judea and Cappadocia , Pontus and Asia , 10Phrygia and Pamphylia , Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene , and visitors from Rome , both Jews and proselytes , 11Cretans and Arabs — in our own languages we hear them speaking about God ' s deeds of power ." 12All were amazed and perplexed , saying to one another , " What does this mean ?" 13But others sneered and said , " They are filled with new wine ."
14But Peter , standing with the eleven , raised his voice and addressed them , " Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem , let this be known to you , and listen to what I say . 15Indeed , these are not drunk , as you suppose , for it is only nine o ' clock in the morning . 16No , this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel : 17 ' In the last days it will be , God declares , that I will pour out 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 . 18Even upon my slaves , both men and women , in those days I will pour out my Spirit ; and they shall prophesy . 19And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below , blood , and fire , and smoky mist . 20The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood , before the coming of the Lord ' s great and glorious day . 21Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved .'
