1 On the day of Pentecost all the Lord's followers were together in one place.
2 Suddenly there was a noise from heaven like the sound of a mighty wind! It filled the house where they were meeting.
3 Then they saw what looked like fiery tongues moving in all directions, and a tongue came and settled on each person there.
4 The Holy Spirit took control of everyone, and they began speaking whatever languages the Spirit let them speak.
5 Many religious Jews from every country in the world were living in Jerusalem.
6 And when they heard this noise, a crowd gathered. But they were surprised, because they were hearing everything in their own languages.
