The Coming of the Holy Spirit

2 When ^(A)the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. ² And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like ^(B)a mighty rushing wind, and ^(C)it filled the entire house where they were sitting. ³ And divided tongues ^(D)as of fire appeared to them and rested^[a] on each one of them. ⁴ And they were all ^(E)filled with the Holy Spirit and began ^(F)to speak in other tongues ^(G)as the Spirit gave them utterance.

⁵ Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶ And ^(H)at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. ⁷ And ^(I)they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking ^(J)Galileans? ⁸ And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? ⁹ Parthians and ^(K)Medes and ^(L)Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, ¹¹ both Jews and ^(M)proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.”

^8 (A)Philip said to him, “Lord, ^(B)show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” ⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? ^(C)Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that ^(D)I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ^(E)I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. ¹¹ Believe me that ^(F)I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else ^(G)believe on account of the works themselves.

¹² “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(H)whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I ^(I)am going to the Father. ^13 (J)Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that ^(K)the Father may be glorified in the Son. ^14 (L)If you ask me^[a] anything in my name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

^15 (M)“If you love me, you will ^(N)keep my commandments. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another ^(O)Helper,^[b] to be with you forever, ¹⁷ even ^(P)the Spirit of truth, ^(Q)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and ^(R)will be^[c] in you.
