When the day of
Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And
suddenly from heaven there came a sound like 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 the Spirit gave them ability.
“In
the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all
people.
Your sons and
daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams."
Acts
2:1-4, 17
