Acts 2:1-11 ▼

1 And when the day of Pentecost was, they were all with one accorde in one place:

2 And sodenly there came a sounde fro heauen, as it had ben the commyng of a mightie wynde, and it fylled all the house where they sate.

3 And there appeared vnto them clouen tongues, lyke as they had ben of fyre, and it sate vpon eche one of them.

4 And they were all fylled with the holy ghost, and began to speake with other tongues, as the spirite gaue them vtteraunce.

5 There were dwellyng at Hierusalem, Iewes, deuout men, out of euery nation of them that are vnder heauen.

6 When this was noysed about, the multitude came together and were astonnyed, because that euery man hearde them speake with his owne language.

7 They wondred all, and marueyled, saying among themselues: Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galilee?

8 And howe heare we euery man his owne tongue, wherin we were borne?

9 Parthians, and Medes, & Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Iurie, and in Capadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

10 Phrygia, & Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parties of Lybia, which is besyde Cyrene, & straungers of Rome, Iewes and Proselytes.

11 Cretes and Arabians: we haue hearde them speake in our tongues, the wonderfull workes of God.
