1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.
2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Passage themes
The feast of weeks — the day of Pentecost
The unity of believers — they were all with one accord in one place
God's sudden breaking in — And suddenly
The breath of the Spirit — a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind
God fills the place — it filled all the house where they were sitting
The baptism of fire — tongues like as of fire
The gift of tongues — cloven tongues
The Spirit rests on them — it sat upon each of them
The gift of the Spirit — they were all filled with the Holy Ghost
The miracle of tongues — began to speak with other tongues
The Spirit gives the words — as the Spirit gave them utterance
