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