Acts 2:4-19

4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.

5Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.

6When this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

7Completely baffled, they said, “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?

8And how is it that each one of us hears them in our own native language?

9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the province of Asia,

10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,

11both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs – we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great deeds God has done!”

12All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

13But others jeered at the speakers, saying, “They are drunk on new wine!”

14But Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: “You men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, know this and listen carefully to what I say.

15In spite of what you think, these men are not drunk, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning.

16But this is what was spoken about through the prophet Joel:

17‘And in the last days it will be,’ God says, ‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

18Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

19And I will perform wonders in the sky above and miraculous signs on the earth below, blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
