Acts 2:1-13.
Acts 2:1-13 (Good News Translation)
1When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers were
gathered together in one place.
2Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a
strong wind blowing, and it filled the whole house where they were
sitting.
3Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread
out and touched each person there.
4They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in
other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.
5There were Jews living in Jerusalem, religious people who had
come from every country in the world.
6When they heard this noise, a large crowd gathered. They were
all excited, because all of them heard the believers talking in their own
languages.
7In amazement and wonder they exclaimed,
These people who are talking like this are Galileans!
8How is it, then, that all of us hear them speaking in our own
native languages?
9We are from Parthia, Media, and Elam; from Mesopotamia, Judea,
and Cappadocia; from Pontus and Asia,
10from Phrygia and Pamphylia, from Egypt and the regions of
Libya near Cyrene. Some of us are from Rome,
11both Jews and Gentiles converted to Judaism, and some of us
are from Crete and Arabia—yet all of us hear them speaking in our own
languages about the great things that God has done!
12Amazed and confused, they kept asking each other,
"What does this mean?"
13But others made fun of the believers, saying,
"These people are drunk!"
God bless you.
