Context
The Holy Spirit and the Day of Pentecost
2:1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come , they were all together in one place .
2:2 Suddenly a sound like a violent wind blowing came from heaven and filled the entire house where they were sitting .
2:3 And tongues spreading out like a fire appeared to them and came to rest on each one of them .
2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit , and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them .
2:5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem .
2:6 When this sound occurred , a crowd gathered and was in confusion , because each one heard them speaking in his own language .
2:7 Completely baffled , they said , “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans ?
2:8 And how is it that each one of us hears them in our own native language ?
2:9 Parthians , Medes , Elamites , and residents of Mesopotamia , Judea and Cappadocia , Pontus and the province of Asia ,
2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia , Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene , and visitors from Rome ,
