Chapter 2

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tonguesOr languages; also in verse 11 as the Spirit enabled them.

5Now there were staying in Jerusalem God–fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.6When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.7Utterly amazed, they asked: “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?8Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language?9Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome11(both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs–we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”12Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.Or sweet wine”

Thank God the day of Pentecost. In These 4 verses we see the great outpouring of God's gift to man; holy spirit. The proof in the senses realm was that they (the 12 Apostles) spoke in tongues and manifested power from on high. That same power is available to us today. Speak in tongues much!

Refer to Nooma video - "ruah" or nooma - breath and spirit same word. From commentary: The Day of Pentecost, as one of the three major Jewish celebrations, was a pilgrimage event. People who lived outside Israel traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate the festival. They came from Arabia, Crete, Asia, and even as far away as Rome. Many of these people stayed in Jerusalem for the entire fifty-day celebration.
