Chapter 2 A Sound Like a Strong Wind 1When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force-no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building. 3Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks, 4and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them.5There were many Jews staying in Jerusalem just then, devout pilgrims from all over the world. 6When they heard the sound, they came on the run. Then when they heard, one after another, their own mother tongues being spoken, they were thunderstruck. 7They couldn't for the life of them figure out what was going on, and kept saying, “Aren't these all Galileans? 8How come we're hearing them talk in our various mother tongues? 9Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; 11both Jews and proselytes; 12Their heads were spinning; they couldn't make head or tail of any of it. They talked back and forth, confused: “What's going on here?”Even Cretans and Arabs! “They're speaking our languages, describing God's mighty works!” 13Others joked, “They're drunk on cheap wine.” The Message (MSG) Copyright © 2002 by Eugene H.
