Acts 2:1-11
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in
one place.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came
from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated
and came to rest on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to
speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from
every nation under heaven.
6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in
bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Are not all these men who are
speaking Galileans?
8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native
language?
9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia,
Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near
Cyrene; visitors from Rome
11 (both Jews and
converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of
God in our own tongues!”
Acts 9:31
Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed
a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit; it
grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord.
Isaiah 33:6
He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of
salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this
treasure.
Acts 8:1
And Saul was there, giving approval to his death. On that day
a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except
the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
