Acts 2:4-19

4AndG2532 they were allG3956 filled withG4130 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 andG2532 beganG756 to speakG2980 in otherG2087 tonguesG1100 asG2531 theG3588 SpiritG4151 enabledG1325G669 themG846.

5NowG1161 there wereG1510 dwellingG27301 inG1519 JerusalemG2419 God-fearingG2126 JewsG2453G435 fromG575 everyG3956 nationG1484 underG5259 heavenG3772. 6AndG1161 when thisG3778 soundG5456 rang outG1096, a crowdG4128 came togetherG4905 in bewildermentG4797, becauseG3754 eachG1538 oneG1520 heardG191 themG846 speakingG2980 his ownG2398 languageG1258.

7AstoundedG1839 andG2532 amazedG2296, they askedG3004, “AreG1510 notG3756 allG3956 theseG3778 whoG3588 are speakingG2980 GalileansG1057? 8How is it then thatG2532G4459 eachG1538 of usG1473 hearsG191 them inG1722 hisG1473 ownG2398 nativeG1080 languageG1258? 9ParthiansG3934, MedesG3370, andG2532 ElamitesG1639; residentsG3588G2730 ofG3588 MesopotamiaG3318, JudeaG2449 andG2532 CappadociaG2587, PontusG4195 andG2532 AsiaG773,2 10PhrygiaG5435 andG2532 PamphyliaG3828, EgyptG125 andG2532 theG3588 partsG3313 of LibyaG3033 nearG2596 CyreneG2957; visitorsG1927 from RomeG4514, 11bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 converts to JudaismG4339; CretansG2912 andG2532 ArabsG690—we hearG191 themG846 declaringG2980 theG3588 wondersG3167 of GodG2316 in our ownG2251 tonguesG1100!”

12AstoundedG1839 andG2532 perplexedG1280, they askedG3004 one anotherG243, “WhatG5101 doesG2309 thisG3778 meanG1510?”

13ButG1161 othersG2087 mockedG5512 them and saidG2036, “They areG1510 drunkG3325 on new wineG1098!”

14ThenG1161 PeterG4074 stood upG2476 withG4862 theG3588 ElevenG1733, lifted upG1869 hisG846 voiceG5456, andG2532 addressedG669 the crowd: “MenG435 of JudeaG2453 andG2532 allG3956 whoG3588 dwellG2730 in JerusalemG2419, let this beG3778G1510 knownG1110 to youG4771, andG2532 listen carefully toG1801 myG1473 wordsG4487. 15TheseG3778 men are not drunkG3756G3184, asG5613 youG4771 supposeG5274. It isG1510 only the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of theG3588 dayG2250!3 16NoG235, thisG3778 isG1510 whatG3588 was spokenG2046 byG1223 theG3588 prophetG4396 JoelG2493:

17‘InG1722 theG3588 lastG2078 daysG2250, GodG2316 saysG3004,I will pour outG1632 MyG1473 SpiritG4151 onG1909 allG3956 peopleG4561.YourG4771 sonsG5207 andG2532 daughtersG2364 will prophesyG4395,yourG4771 young menG3495 will seeG3708 visionsG3706,yourG4771 old menG4245 will dreamG1797 dreamsG1798.18EvenG1065 onG1909 MyG1473 menservantsG1401 andG2532 maidservantsG1399I will pour outG1632G575 MyG1473 SpiritG4151 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250,andG2532 they will prophesyG4395.19I will showG1325 wondersG5059 inG1722 theG3588 heavensG3772 aboveG507andG2532 signsG4592 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 belowG2736,bloodG129 andG2532 fireG4442 andG2532 billowsG822 of smokeG2586.
