2 And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:

² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

³ And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.

⁵ Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

⁶ And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.

⁷ And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?

⁸ And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born?

⁹ Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

¹⁰ Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,

¹¹ Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.
