The Coming of the Holy Spirit

 

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

​

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

​

And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting 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 utterance.

​

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.

​

And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

​

And they were amazed and wondered, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

​

And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?

 

 

 

​

but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

​

‘And in the last days it shall 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;

yea, and on my menservants and my maidservants in those days
I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
