II. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound out of heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed among them; and it sat upon each of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6And this being noised abroad[6], the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every man heard them speak in his own language. 7And all were amazed, and wondered, saying one to another Behold, are not all these who speak Galilæans? 8And how do we hear, every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born, 9Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judæa and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11Cretes and Arabians, hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God? 12And all were amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another: What may this mean? 13But others mocking said: They are filled with sweet wine.
14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them: Men of Judæa, and all that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words. 15For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day. 16But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17And it shall be in the last days, saith God,
That I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh;
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions,
And your old men shall dream dreams;
18And even on my servants and on my handmaids,
I will pour out of my Spirit in those days,
