Acts, Chapter 2
The Day of Pentecost
2 When the day of Pentecost [a]had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire [b]distributing themselves, and [c]they [d]rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other [e]tongues, as the Spirit was giving them [f]utterance.
- When the day of Pentecost had come
o They were all together in one place
§ Remember, in the upper room praying
- And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind
o It sounded like a windstorm (a violent rushing wind)
- And it filled the whole house where they were sitting
o Notice if filled the whole house (not a portion) – filled to capacity
- And there appeared to them tongues as fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them
o What does a tongue of fire look like?
o Notice it distributed itself resting on each one (every one had it resting on them)
- So they heard it; they saw it; and they believed it
- And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues
o They were all filled (not a little bit)
§ With the Holy Spirit
o And began to speak with other tongues
§ This is the result of being filled
- As the Spirit was giving them utterance
o Notice the Spirit is the one who gives the utterance not their minds
5 Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own [g]language.
- Devout men from every nation under heaven (people came from all over)
- And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together
o The crowd is more than the just the 120 people that gathered in the upper room
o And were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language (this was a miracle)
